WW1 Medals on Ebay - Look for your Family Name
« on: Sunday 07 September 08 12:44 UTC (UK) »

Inspired by MarkyP and daval57, I thought it may be a good idea to list WW1 medals currently for sale on Ebay.

I only intend adding items where family name is identified.  I'll try not to miss any.

What a mammoth task Fek!

I've viewed them all but unfortunately I am no nearer tracing the medals including the Military Medal of my Uncle William Emmerson Metcalfe - 12/11136 of the Northumberland Fusiliers.
I suspect perhaps his son's widow,with whom I have lost touch, has it.

You have to be careful when buying medals etc, on EBay or such other sites,   It is quite easy to have replicas made and names addred for authenticity.

I am not saying these are, but to be careful.

If you are a member of ebay, you can search for surnames relevant to you - go to medal section and put your names in brackets in the search box like this:
(Smith, Brown, etc)  allow it to search and save it as a search remember to select notification for 12 months. That way you'll receive emails.

I've done that for my gt grandfather  - it was said his son was playing with them and lost them....And he was an  'Old Contemptible' ... sigh! Roll Eyes

Hi All,

I, after a long break due to personal reasons, am now back researching my family history.  Cheesy

I wanted to apologise for my sudden disappearance and lack of updating this thread.

As gene-genie has stated there is a way to search your family name on Ebay, and due to me not having enough time to put the effort in to constantly update it, it is with regret that I will not be carrying on this thread.

Kindest regards.
