Default Reproduction medals
I wonder if any of the other members could help me here?

My younger brother has just bought himself a lovely country cottage which, to be honest; given the state of his health, he should have bought years ago. I'd like to give him a keepsake for moving in. Something he's long expressed interest in is reproductions of our dad's WW2 service medals in a little frame.

I can find plenty of firms who do this online but they all seem to need well in excess of £100 to fulfil an order like this which I find expensive.

Does anybody know where I could have this task done a little cheaper but still maintain a reasonable quality?

Those would only cost you £50 for genuine ones.

Why do you want repros?

Because I'm applying for replacement of the lost originals for myself and want a framed or display mounted set of copies for my brother.
