Phatbudda, your items are always awesome! It is hard to believe some of the things people throw away. I am wondering if your last item is a statue of Neptune... he is always associated with the sea. If you GOOGLE Neptune you can see some different statues with him and horses. Also, his spear is actually called a Trident and is used for spear fishing, also associated with Neptune! Hope this helps and keep up all of your great postings! They are AWESOME! Thrifty
I love the medal. I did not realize these items were to an Admiral who died at Jutland! Anything to a High Ranking British Officers are quite rare, never mind to an Admiral who died at Jutland! Please keep up updated if you find anything on the medal, I tried seeing what it was but I too don't know what it is.
Hi thrifty :)
Hope you are well.
Thanks, I thought it Neptune but wasn't sure. It looks so much better but my camera doesn't pick up the Quality of the piece.
I google it and saw some similar statues.
Thanks again
Hi blackwatch,
Thanks for your information, I'm not to knowledgeable about the war but do like getting old war lots at work. This is amazing Collection and will be posting more when I can.
Thanks for looking up on the medal as I've never seen it before.
Thanks again

Thanks again olofz, you really are good at this.
That makes sense, I got some paper work from St. John's, I think they go together, il have a look when I get them out next.
Thanks again
