Hi Everyone,
I also think that it is time that the Number of vatiants of the Army Medal are listed and I would ask any member to post their variants below, I have been able to find the followiing variants:
1st Type made in the United Kingdom most likely by Spink & Son
2nd Type the so called Swiss variant
3rd Type made by the firm of Arthus Bertrand in Paris
4th Type unknown Maker (I first came across this variant when I visited the Jozef Pilsudski Museum in London, in the late 1970's)
5th Type also unknown Maker ( I also came across this variant when I visited the Jozef Pilsudski Museum in London, in the 1970's) this variant has the crowned eagle clutching not a sword as per the other variants, but a Bayonet. I have a photograph of this somewhere, but at this moment I can not find it.
Now I hand this over to the other Forum members to add their own photographs of their variants.
As always
Best wishes
Andrzejku
