A friend of my father has asked me to ID this neat Edward VII era pendant.I'm pretty sure what it is but I'm at a loss concerning the initials on the back.It's a centenary commemorative of Nelson's success made of Victory copper from the HMS Victory,I presume.If you can help, please do.If not, enjoy this neat trinket.I'd like to detect one of these in the future. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
I mean if Steve can do this is can't be too hard, now can it. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> Anyway, it appears you have a small copper medal issued by the British & Foreign Sailor's Society to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lord Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar. Dating from 1905. These medals were made from copper from Nelson's ships and were sold in aid of the 'Nelson Centenary Memorial Fund'. Looks like you actually own a piece of history CS. I provided a link below but unfortunately there isn't a price associated with it. Congratulations!

Most excellent Nimrod.I had guessed 15-30$ for a ballpark figure.Alot of exonumia falls in that category of pricing.
 
Greetings Bud! The Views Forum is dead tonight so I am out roaming the forums to amuse myself. I just lucked out and found an easy whatzit to play with. I'm just glad that I beat you to it. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
...you must have found more this season than those little silver fishscales at 12" in my park. <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug">
