Can you buy modern versions of UK medals (like Vanguard)?

Is there somewhere you can buy modern versions of UK medals? Like we have Vanguard medals. Looking for some cheaper versions of UK medals.

You could get restrikes from WWME (World Wide Militaria Exchange) but it looks like they shut down last I checked. I needed a 1939-45 Star and they had originals for $20 or restrikes for $15 so I got a real one.

There are a number of companies that make reproduction British medals. I am currently looking for high quality reproductions of the DSO, OBE, MC, DCM, and MM for a display. The challenge is to find one that offers nice quality examples. I have seen DSO reproductions for $38 up to nearly $300 but the photos all look exactly the same. No idea how to choose which company to buy them from!!!

Hi, This is a belated reply to this thread.

 

I am in the  UK and can tell you that the current official supplier of UK military medals and awards is the Worcestershire Medal Service located in Bromsgrove, West Midlands, UK. They have a comprehensive website and offer a full range of replacement awards and medals which are of very good quality. Be aware that a lot of replacement items in the UK are marked 'copy' or similar, but there are still a lot of quality replacements and older privately made pieces that are not so marked.

 

Best Regards

 

Tony
