    Medal Mounting - West Midlands

    Can anyone recommend a Medal Mounting Service in the West Mids Area? Situation is that My old Man a Naval WW2 Vetern has decided that he wants to attend the Local Rememberance Parade with his medals, the only trouble is that his ribbons are not int he best condition.
    Its short notice I know that why I would prefer a Local dealer but in all my years he has never wore his medals indeed has shunned wearing them. He is now 83 and I would love to be with him on the local parade with his medals.
    Any help would be appriciated.

    Worcester Medals are in Bromsgrove. They mounted my 4 ok and I got a Box to keep them. Not bad service but not the cheapest.

    The bars on medals are wider than the ribbons so there will be a bit of overlap. Check the ribbon width with someone who doesn't have one court mounted. Should show if its been squashed.
