This is an extremely RARE solid English sterling silver medal awarded for “Heavy Weight Tug of War” at the Bombay Durbar in 1911 during the visit by King George V and Queen Mary.
On one side are the profile heads of the King & Queen with the inscription:
“George & Mary Emperor & Empress”.
On the other side are a wonderful coat of arms with the inscription:
“Exhibition of Old Bombay 1911”
Along the bottom is inscribed:
“Heavy Weight Tug of War”.
Along the edge/rim is a band of silver that has been hammered onto the medal which has the name “G GOODSON” as the recipient of this medal.
This delightful antique silver medal is over 100 years old and has very good, clear hallmarks as follows:
W.O.L for William Osborn Lewis (the earlier hallmark has the dot towards the middle of the letters, not at the bottom)
Lion passant for sterling silver
Anchor for Birmingham
‘m’ lowercase for 1911
It is in wonderful condition as shown in the images provided.
There are a couple of small ‘nicks’ at the top of the rim but this is a minor flaw and does not affect the medal.
The medal has a diameter of 31mm x 2mm thick and weighs 14.6g.
FREE UK shipping is included.
