these are most impressive! The Crimea medals in particular are stunning

Thanks Scott,they're quite different. The one with the nice patina belonged to a career soldier. Who was in the real thick of it with his regiment at the start of Sebastopol. A while later while on duty in Ireland he commited suicide at about the age of 42yrs. He had only a small gambling debt & a slate in the pub. Quite sad really,his belongings were fowarded to his sister as next of kin. Regards Stewy
