WW1 Medal Engraving
Does anyone have any expertise in this area?
Did the font used in engraving ever vary? |

Yes it did! There are quite a few different types.

Hello,
the first point is that British and commonwealth WW1 medals were not engraved! They were however impressed by a machine. The difference is significant when collecting medals. regards

Hi
I once saw an Australian trio and subsequently read his file. There was a curious notation that the Victory medal had been "impressed and issued at Australia House, London" and, yes, there WAS a difference in the font. I'm still wondering if Australia House really did have a machine for this work or whether it should have read: "Impressed,[then] issued at Australia House" If they were doing this work then it really must have been quite an empire... |
