help with a maker's mark Grandfather's medal

[jadine]

Hi I am new to this site.I must say it has helped alot. I have a british medal that I was told my grandfather won in gymnastics.. On the front I think it has G.G.C or they could be a combination of C."S not sure but also has the year 1895.. The back has his name H.S.HUNT. A lion, a U,and a Layed down achor..So I"m guessing that's the symbols for Sterling, 1895, and Birmington.. However I can't figure out the maker's mark. Looks like G-E-S or C-E-S or O-E-S.. If anyone can help me with any information or guess about this medal that would be great.. Thank you everyone would has a look.... Jadine

Jadine,

The date mark looks like Birmingham 1894-95. I don't know the maker yet but will post it on Thursday unless someone else does. The CCC on the front could stand for Child's Cross Country; just a guess.

Thanks Miles, what is child cross country? Jadine

I was just trying to think what CCC could stand for; you said the medal was for atheletics, and that was the most likely possibility my feeble imagination could concoct. It was either that or Curtain Climbing Champion.

In actual fact it is probably a cricket club...like MCC is or Cambridge or even a small town or village perhaps. What part of the country is it in? Best wishes, Mike.

He was from England and I think some of the family was in Gloucester. Thanks Jadine.. Actual not sure if its C's or G's And C's??????It's so hard to tell......
