Victorian LSGC to HLI
Hello All,
Recently acquired this brooched LSGC engraved to 1036 Sergt W Beaton HIGH L.I. Might anyone have Beaton on a roll somewhere? I’m guessing 1880s or 1890s? Thanks!!! Mark~

Thanks Roy! I’m torn between restoring its correct suspension (an obscenely expensive endeavor these days) and leaving it as is. Still, it’s a neat one either way!

I would leave as is in this case I have a broached khedive Star that looks just fine sadly unnamed it has had a deliberate adaptation and was worn with pride.
Though if you find others to go with it then worth having suspension reattached if you can find a contemporary one. Regards Stephen |

It is the type with the smaller lettering to the reverse, issued 1874-1902.

These Victorian LSGC's are lovely medals.

Agreed. Aesthetically speaking, the LSGC is a particularly fine example of medallic art design.

The only brooched medal I have, I think - I have wondered if this was worn by the recipient or more likely as an attractive sweetheart brooch:

I'd never qualify for it - total abstinence - I shudder at the thought.

Hmm - on second thoughts, perhaps it the DTs that's making me shudder.

“total abstinence”, indeed... a feat of super human strength and fortitude to be sure.
