I got an excellent quality die-struck WW1 BWM a few years ago to replace one lost from a trio (did't seem right to use one named). Can't remember where I got it now but a few weeks later found this place just round the corner from me, almost. I've not used them yet but have seen recommendations elsewhere. They supply originals (when available), replicas and do mounting.

I'm guessing from the apparently relatively small-scale nature of these suppliers that the sheer scale of demand in WW1 & 2 led to many appropriate 'light engineering' companies taking on the work as a sideline. That all important 'by appointment' seal still marking them out as proper suppliers. Something in my head was envisioning a large 'Poppy Factory' sort of concern, but apparently not.
Thinking of just those death plaques from the first war, realistically it must have been a massive operation to churn out so many individually marked lumps of metal, the logistical scale hadn't really occurred to me before.

All -
have been in touch with the Fattorini Company and their response from Greg Fattorini - informs me that they only deal with Governements and are not in the retail business - however they did recommend Worcester medal Co - which appears to be at least 15% more expensive than Ron's initial recommendation....so being of Scottish origin.....
