Regimental Awards. Help needed.

[mrg]

Hi Guys i was wondering if any of you have any pics of regimental awards you could share.

I have three questions about these firstly were they made from pewter, and did they come in white cases, and what was the detail like. I have absolutely no knowledge about these but was offered some. Thankls for any help.

'Regimental awards' is rather a broad brush. What period? Napoleonic? Victorian? And for what precisely? Sports? Shooting? Merit? Early awards were predominantly silver. Items like sports prizes can be found in many guises and are either silver or bronze. Pewter is considered rather a cheap metal for awards.
