Brilliant Alan! Absolutely right. M. is the correct letter. So Merchant maybe?
I took them over to my son last night and he pointed out that it was an M - his eyesight is better than mine. It means that you and Jim1 are very likely correct and that these are not "real" medals but versions of them.
He has promised to come over and post them for me bur he still works so I'm not sure quite when it will be. You will see them but perhaps not as quickly as I would like.
