This turned up in a box of War Medals and two Gunto's.

Unfortunately it seems entirely unconnected;

Its a bronze and bright silver pin on medallioin which I am trying to photograph with great difficulty.

The box is polished plastic with blue velvet lining; the award is inscribed both front and back;but please what does it say on top of the box;

Unfortunately it does not seem to be so special.

My sincere thanks for your advises;

 

I know what you mean but no doubt it once meant something to someone;

 

 

Best wishes
