Police Long Service

[bytown]

The 3 Police Long Service 57'er Medals.

They came with the 50yr Faithful Service Medal.

Not Early as far as I can see. No polished edges etc.

The ribbon ring on the 18yr is larger than on the other 2 Medals.

Nigel........any estimate on period of manufacture?

Nice medals again Wayne!!
Any pics of the other side??
The lack of polished highlights on the 18 & 25 years mean they wont be the very earliest, but neither are they late "collectors" pieces, I would think later 60's+
Interestingly, the 8 year medal never had polished highlights, even in its earliest form..... but I would guess this example does date from the period as the other two!!

Thanks Wayne!!
The 8 year is harder to date, because it seems to have changed little from early to later, but I think it makes sense for it to be a later 60's piece to match the others??
All good S&L's anyway!!!

Thanks Nigel.

I bought a group of 5 medals. The 3 Police, the 50yr and a 25yr Faithful Service.

All in all I thought it was a pretty good deal.

Worked out to 15 Euros apiece.

Good price Wayne!!
Many of the 57er medals are overlooked, these being some of them!!!
