[QUOTE="nucopia, post: 514442, member: 5588"] Google search comes up with a few possibilities Seems the British sailors society has had a few name changes over the years but originated in London as a Christian charity founded by a former British sailor and others , to provide a place of worship to sailors from all nations visiting London on merchant ships. Any one donating to the charity could receive a medal and some medals were struck to commemorate different events such as the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar and also Nelsons death .. Google has different images for 1905 medals some round some such as a Fob Watch medallion were in the shape of a three pointed star. Looking forward to seeing the one you found. [/QUOTE]
