Unidentified Medal
Hi,
Can anyone help me identify this medal? It is sterling silver and has the initials WH on the reverse - assumed to be the maker. Thanks in advance. Devonlad |

I'm guessing that it is a watch fob, so the initials could in fact be the owner's, and not the makers. You say it is sterling. Are their proof marks? Often those will indicate the place [city] and date it was made.

Unidentified medal
Thanks Peter. There are no hallmarks, just the words Sterling Silver either side of the initials WH. Like your suggestion that it may be a watch fob, perhaps for a military person.

I think it's more of a "jewel" as for Freemasons

That makes sense too: something to wear on a watch chain so other Masons could recognize you [without the secret handshake]. Not the usual compass and square insignia, but I know nothing about Masonic stuff.
