Medals will be cleaned prior to mounting and we can also add a stay bright coating to each medal at an additional cost of £5 per medal.

Adding Medals to Existing Groups

If you have medals that are already mounted and you want a medal or medals to be added to them, the cost will be as above for the TOTAL number of medals. We cannot add medals to a group that are already mounted.

Additional Services

You can order both of these services by visiting our website here.

We can also supply medal display cases to display your medals on the wall when not being worn. These can be found here.

Finally, for any medals that require engraving (cost £12 per medal), this service can be ordered here.

Once your order is completed, we will send you full instructions regarding how to send your medals to us.

If you have any questions please do let us know.

Why Are Medals Mounted?

The term mounting refers to putting medals together on a bar so that they can be worn. Medals can also be mounted to hang in a frame should you wish to be able to remove the medals from a frame.

The Order That Medals Should Be Mounted In

Medals are mounted in a strict order determined first by the type of medal and secondly for campaign medals, by when they were awarded. When sending medals to be mounted, we will need to know in which order your medals were awarded. 

PLEASE NOTE that this applies to modern campaigns only. WW1 & WW2 medals have their own determined order that we will sort for you.

Court Mounting

Full Size medal mounting service 'Court' Style. Medals that you purchase or send to us will be mounted on a stiff backing and stitched down to prevent them rubbing together. 

Court Mounting originates from the reign of Queen Victoria. Serving members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces in her attendance (in 'Court') were requested to ensure medals were sewn onto a backing board to prevent them from moving around and making a noise. 

Court Mounting has been widely adopted by today's Armed Forces. Whilst a more expensive form of mounting medals ready-to-wear, Court Mounting provides a more secure and longer lasting finish protecting medals from rubbing or bashing against each other.

Swing Mounting

Full Size medal mounting service 'Swing' Style. Medals that you purchase or send to us will be mounted together on a pin. The term 'Swing Mount' refers to the fact that the medals will swing freely when being worn. 

This style of mounting is traditionally but not exclusively used for WW1 & WW2 medals.

Naming/Engraving

If your medals require naming (engraving) with your details, this can be added at a cost of £12 per medal. Engraving can be found on our website here.
