    Description

    From my 40 year old British antique police and militaria collection:
    This is a great looking Original - Victorian British Metropolitan (Met) Police Constable's medal trio on original ribbons and mounted as worn.
    Medals are all properly period engraved to P.C. W. Bell D Division (sorry but my camera couldn't zoom in enough to capture the engraved naming details on the medal rim).
    The 3 medals are:  Queen Victoria Jubilee 1897 Medal - King Edward VII 1902 Coronation Medal - King George V 1911 Coronation Medal.  Are all correctly named to PC Bell with their original ribbons and are mounted as worn by him.
    PC William Bell served his entire career in the Metropolitan Police's D Division  (Marylebone D Division was also referred to as St. Marylebone).  He joined The Met on 21st November 1892 and retired as a Constable on 13th November 1920.  His Warrant Number was  78129.
    Nice that I was able to confirm from research his service details and some background on PC Bell which I displayed with his well deserved medals.  Details are printed on the cardboard card the  medals sit on.
    These complete with original ribbon trio sets are getting hard to find these days especially with any service details on the police officer from his attestation papers for his enlistment with the Met Police.
