there is no connection to California or Scotland in this family .. their last residence in England was at #4 Hampton Court, King's Lynn .. my grandmother, two of her siblings and their parents emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1916 .. the eldest daughter came over about five years later .. two other siblings died at a very young age (before 1900) and the eldest boy stayed in England and lived in Hitchin, Hertfordshire after his marriage during WWI .. I would love to know more about this family and where this medal came from.  I am not aware if they belonged to any clubs or organizations

I will try and get a clearer photo of the hallmark .. the surname of the family is Spooner and my great-grandfather's name was Alfred Eugene Spooner and on the back of the medal the initials "A S" are stamped .. could be a coincidence

I am hoping someone could help me identify the small "medal" seen in the photo .. my grand-aunt had it with her possessions and it was passed on to me after her son's death.  The family was from the King's Lynn area (where my grandmother was born) and some of the family emigrated to Nova Scotia in the early 1920's.  The family surname is Spooner.  Thanks in advance
