This has got me thinking. We all know about
Hancocks's association with making the VC but where are the other medals bashed out? I can find several dealers and replacement salesmen but nothing on a factory.
There must be an industrial unit knocking out 'official' MCs, Africa Stars, etc. (No doubt in Birmingham somewhere).
There was a Radio 4 programme a while back that covered military button makers, can't remember for the life of me whether they pressed medals too.
Just seen Spink listed as a manufacturer, I knew they were major dealers, but are they the main provider of new stock too?
Anyone got a link to a picture of a British 'medal factory'?
Cheers,
Adam.
