Thanks Eric for the warning. I'm actually not in the market to buy anything - just trying to identify the medal/jetton/badge for Theodor Sololo's daughter who is nearly 90 years old and now wants to know more about her father's life. He was deported from England in 1929 to Greece and did not return for 30 years, so she missed out on a good deal of information about him. He was probably fortunate to be deported to Greece, Stalin would have shot him if he'd been sent back to the Ukraine. I think the possibility that the jetton was a university honour will be sufficient. The daughter emigrated to Australia when she was 65 and left a lot of personal stuff behind ... probably once had the jetton herself and now regrets leaving it behind. I have just ordered his Canadian Army service record - I think she will too delighted with that to worry about the jetton!
