In many cases, you'll find that if anyone is drawing a pension on behalf of a deceased serviceman, there will be legal issues. Different laws, different places. It also depends on who keeps the records and what their history of preservation has been. But this is way off-topic . . . . |

Re: Researching british medals?
By Administrative costs I was implying more time and labour rather than LSD but I wasn't overly clear on that one. No matter what medals you are researching from any nation from any time period it is infinitely easier to research when the award has a good solid means of identification on it, be it a name or number. Whoever's idea it was to serial number all the Soviet awards, we salute you! (Just a shame they gave up on some of them)

Re: Researching british medals?
I've seen lots of dealers out there state that whatever set of unnamed/unnumbered awards they have from whatever nation(s) for sale is so unique etc. that it would be easy to research and find a recipient and all the rest from there. Has anyone here every had ANY sort of luck ever researching an anonymous group? (as if it's not hard enough getting information sometimes when you hold all the aces in your hand) or are these tales told to inflate prices?

Re: Researching british medals?
Seems the answer is negative. Anyway here are a random trio of scans from this set of research I got. The scans aren't top quality as I scanned them in greyscale but you can see from them what you could expect, rather tired and fire damaged pieces offering some very telling gems of information.
