Victoria Cross (Great Britian)
The Victoria Cross is England’s highest award for valor. Since this award was instituted in 1854, only 1,354 have been awarded. A little, known fact, even to many "experts," is that the metal used to forge every Victoria Cross is tended by the 15th Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps in Donnington. The VC metal rarely sees the light of day as it is secured in special vaults and is removed only under exceptional circumstances; however, recently, this item of national history was transported to the Imperial War Museum in London for the royal opening of the Victoria Cross and George Cross Exhibition. The metal, weighing 358 ounces and looking somewhat like a lump of cheese is all that remains of the bronze cascabels from two Russian cannon captured at Sebastopol, the last great battle of the Crimean War in 1854-55. The cascabel is a large knob at the rear of the cannon. The two cannon, minus cascabels, stand proudly outside the Officers Mess in Woolwich.
Shipping, handling, and insurance is $1.50 each domestic and $3.00 each foreign.
