57 Awards for Review: FJ, Pilot's, LGCB, Bronze CCC, Coastal Artillery and S-Boat

[Matthieu]

All good (varying periods) except for the E-boat which is a cheap de-Nazified cast fake and the Pilot's Badge case (could be for anything, but not for a 57er badge imo).

I can only agree to this - well explained !

Thanks for the help and the dating on these items. Glad to see that I am getting better at figuring out these medals!

Always interesting to hear peoples opinions as to what they call mid, late etc.
I notice some collectors call anything from 1970 onwards late, but "late" is then covering a period of 45+ years as some of these pieces are still in production today!!!
Maybe its time to have a discussion ( in a new thread!) as to what terms we apply to certain dates of production??

Hi,

Great idea Nigel, maybe call the thread S&L Late versus Modern.

S&L Very Early, Early, and Mid seemed pretty well defined:

Yes, IMO based on 'Norm F established theory'
