"Grandfather's Medals" [The Medals of Joseph Fisher, Born 1878]
As can be seen, the medals are on the two original support bars which are now mounted on a baize display board. The sewn "repair" to the right hand ribbon is "original" and presumably done by either grandfather himself or grandmother!
I've scanned the medals "as displayed" rather than separating them as being more authentic and requiring less interference.
