It’s been an extremely busy summer so I am sorry for the lack of posting, but I just had to share this colourful set!

A full size set of replicas, minis, and undress ribbons heading back to this member of the Calgary Police Service (and great friend of the page!)

- Officer of the Order of Merit for Police Forces
- Cdn Peacekeeping Service Medal
- UN-AU Hybrid Mission in Darfur
- QEII Diamond Jubilee Medal
- Police Exemplary Service Medal
- QEII Platinum Jubilee Medal (Alberta)

A rather striking group for this retired CAF officer.

This member doesn’t have plans on wearing their medals anymore, so for displaying purposes asked to have the Joint Services Commendation Medal mounted with the group. This medal isn’t authorized for wear, while the US Meritorious Service Medal is.

Because these are going into a frame, rather than pins we affixed magnets onto the rear of the set for easier placement and removal from the frame

My first time mounting medals for either the Army or Air Cadet League of Canada - and this member has both!

A great looking group to a lifetime volunteer of with the cadet organizations in Canada

While there is no order of precedence for the league medals, we decided to mount them in the order received.

We’ve recently taken on a new challenge of updating Calgary Fire with all their medals! They are a few years behind in awarding the City of Calgary Protective Services Medal as well as the federal Fire Exemplary Service Medal

Here’s a few recent sets recently completed for members of the CFD.

A truly wonderful gift from a client!

Once I’m back I may need to track down a challenge coin display for my work bench. If you know someone who makes them, please get in touch!

One final friendly reminder - we are now closed until May 7

One final order off the work bench

This lot is heading back to the Calgary Fire Department. Over the next few months I’ll be working on these medals with a great friend to the business, Liam from Crown Medal Mounting - Calgary Canada. Without his help, orders of this size (250 medals total) would be an impossible feat.

If you haven’t checked out Crown’s work, please do!

I admire the suite of campaign stars used throughout the Second World War. It made for a good (and easy) way to identify where someone saw service during the war.

Last week, we mounted our first Efficiency Decoration, and now we mounted our first Efficiency Medal!

This was also my first time mounting an original Burma Star, one of the rarest stars issued to Canadians for service in the Second World War

In the craze of my approaching leave, it has been BUSY!

Here’s a few groups recently mounted for members of various law enforcement agencies. It never ceases to amaze me the unique groups that come from these agencies - so many former CAF, British armed forces, and other foreign militaries!
