National Police Service Medal, Victorian Police Diligent & Ethical Service 20

For those of you who have served your country, be it in the Armed Forces or the Emergency Services and have been honored with your own medals, or have family members who have, you’ll understand the personal and monetary value of these medals is very high, and can’t be replaced if lost. Therefore it is common to wear replicas to avoid the losing or damaging of your originals. Replicas also enable you to keep your originals in their original issue case.

I have been mounting medals for the last 28 years, starting off as a hobby. I have been in the A.D.F. for over 24 years and have had my share of deployments. In that time I have seen some very poorly mounted medals. I have offered my services to my fellow colleges on deployment (with NO complaints) and I’m now offering my services to all who have served. I have also been a Volunteer Firefighter and now a serving member in the S.E.S. So I have a great appreciation for service and the pride that goes with the medals we receive. I take great pride in my craftsmanship and making other people’s pride look the best they possible can.

My experience has shown that, only the use of the HIGHEST quality medals, and ribbon from Kenning & Spencer in England will suffice. Your medals will be mounted on a solid Perspex backing, NOT CARDBOARD, so they won’t swell and fall apart if they’re subject to moisture, (i.e. rain or beer/bundy). This also means you can lightly rinse them under water without damage to the product (made with Diggers in mind).

The medals are not stuck down with glue or silicon. They are sewn down by hand and tied off in a way to keep them firmly in place.

On the back there is “NO” cheap felt to cover up bad craftsmanship. The ribbons have a lot of meaning and they should always been shown. Therefore, 1 Foot/30 cm of ribbon is used on each medal, showing the full ribbon plus medal retaining stick in the back. There is also NO advertisement sticker on the back. These are your medals and if you want to tell others who mounted them, you will. They are secured to the garment with stick pins and NEW mushroom clip to lock them in place. Plus 1 Ribbon Bar to match. I also offer the same set with the old style long brooch pin mounting for an extra $5. For the Police Service’s I also offer plastic coating for the ribbon bar for an extra $5 per bar. Just let me know before you buy them and I’ll update the listing.

I also now have available Black Metal Display Cases for sale to safely store and transport your medals in. If you look up my listing “Black Medal Display Case” They cost $40 and if you buy it with a set of medals just ask for a combination postage request BEFORE you pay for them and I’ll reduce the cost of postage.

If you require a specific set of medals that I haven’t Listed, Send me a message and I’ll get back to you ASAP. (If I don’t get back to you strait away, I may be out Bush on Ex). I’m always after a new set to mount.

I also offer a FULL restoration service for old originals that have seen better days. They will be hand polished, all new ribbons and mounted

Please Note: It’s not viable for me to have all of the items I have listed sitting here in stock waiting to be sold. I hand make every set to order as they come in. So please take note of the estimated delivery time. This is the outside time limit. Normally they will be out within a week.
