Rare Antique George V Medal Locket Photo Frame WWI Era English Royal Souvenir

This is a rare and unusual English royal souvenir dating from the World War I Era - a small and brightly gold plated King George V medal (ruled 1910-1936) inscribed George V King of England Cruntiktan. On the reverse it has a picture or keepsake compartment that can hold a picture and/or a small object. The medal shows the king's face in 3/4 view (quite unusual) and was probably issued in of one of the British colonies at the time. We have found a reference to this 'medalet' in a collectors' manual, but no further information so far.

The pendant has a 2 cm diameter and the medal is 1.7 cm wide. The compartment about 4 mm deep lined in blue velvet, with a glass cover. To insert a photo, you have to raise the flower shaped prongs which secure the glass cover (a small blade might help), and bend them back over the glass afterwards. Let us know if you would like us to help fit the picture for you. The pendant is 1.25 inch high including the bale, very brightly gilt, as if never used. It comes with a 21 inch gilt stainless steel chain. In great condition and ready to wear.
