Author	Topic: 1879 London Silver
TrophySleuth Posts: 7 Registered: Mar 2008	posted 03-12-2008 10:27 AM [26-1608] My 90-year-old friend Eve has what appears to be a Freemason's medal, presented to her grandfather in 1879. From what I can tell, it's a Fireman's Medal from the I.O.G.F. It's attached to a thick chain that's marked with the London lion, a small q, and the maker' mark is J&E F. Can anyone tell me who J&E F was? He lived in Yorkshire all his life. Many thanks, TG IP: Logged
