Essex Regiment Silver-Plated Medallion in Box

Essex Regiment Silver-Plated Medallion in Box, an unnamed and unengraved regimental medallion associated with the Essex Regiment, supplied in its original presentation box marked “F. Phillips / Medallists / Aldershot”. The medallion is of particular interest as an example of British regimental presentation and commemorative material, while the absence of engraving leaves it available as an unissued or unused example rather than an identified presentation piece.

The Essex Regiment was a historic British Army infantry regiment with a long association with the county of Essex, serving in numerous campaigns and conflicts before its amalgamation in 1958 to form the 3rd East Anglian Regiment. Regimental medallions and presentation pieces were produced for a variety of purposes, including service recognition, commemorative occasions and association events. The F. Phillips, Aldershot box provides additional collector interest and places the item within the tradition of specialist military medal and medallion manufacture in the important military town of Aldershot.

This unnamed, unengraved example is suitable for collectors of Essex Regiment militaria, British regimental medallions, military presentation pieces, medal-related ephemera and Aldershot military memorabilia.
