What an incredible piece this is. It is a solid 9K rose gold full Albert chain with attached medal. The chain is fully hallmarked with markings of the year of its creation, 1915, and the stamp of Birmingham, England, where it was forged. The attached, engraved medal is maker's marked B&S Ltd. (an English silver and goldsmith) and dated with the year 1921. The hand engraving work done on the face of the medal (unrelated to the maker) reads Burneside W. Greatorex 1921, the year of engraving consistent with that in which the medal was forged according to the hallmarks. The hand engraving could easily be buffed out and replaced with custom text or graphics. The rear side of the medal bears detail engraving work and an embossed shield shape, raised above the face of the medal.
