Here is a terific original period piece from World War One! This is an absolutely stunning Sterling Silver Nursing Sisters Voluntary Medical Services Medal that was issued to L. Firth for her service in WW1! I love that this piece features a striking image of Florence Nightingale AND the medal was issued to a woman in WW1! A terrific piece to round out your millitaria collection! Here is some info that came with the medal. It is a very substantial medal, very much in the Art Deco style, 38mm wide and by my scale, 44 grams of sterling silver. The obverse features Florence Nightengale, carrying her lamp and the reverse shows the medical red cross under a St. This is because the medal was issued by both the British Red Cross and the Scottish St. It’s a terrific old medal issued to a woman that would have been a nurse, ambulance driver etc… Be sure to add me to your.
