    Looking very good. It is interesting how medal were displayed in such an haphazaard fashion until the late 19th century.

    Indeed Mike on of the attractions of this piece .....and very often not with the same style clasps or mounting bar for medal

    In my sculpting of them looking at the original medals there are differences to the portrait so combined a bit on mine

    Thanks for looking in
