Help me identify Medal - Royal Marines
« on: Tuesday 24 February 15 11:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help me identify this medal? My GGG grandfather served in the Royal Marines between 1848 and 1869.

Thanks
John

With a name to go with your Marine it may be possible to find him and identify the medal.

It isn't a campaign medal as they were all round...ish or star shaped, it may be a gallantry medal but very hard to tell from the photo.

I'd say it was more like a Temperance medal...not military award or campaign.

Following Ady's thought see http://www.stewartbooks.com/Temperance_Medal.htm and http://indiannumismatics.com/products.php?id=76 and Google images although none appear exactly the same.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Possibly a Masonic Medal

Good evening,

I could find nothing that matched the shape amongst the masonic medals. Hard to tell exactly from the slight angle but it appears longer than it's width. I will check out things like the buffalos, lions etc.
