Opening of the Parliament of Northern Ireland, 1921, a bronze medal by Neill, similar, edge named (H.M. Glass, OBE, had the Honour of being presented to the King & Queen on this occasion), 51mm (BHM 4163; E 1973). Virtually as struck, rare; in original blue fitted case by Sharman D. Neill Ltd, goldsmiths, Donegall place, Belfast [case broken] (£40-50)

It is somewhat unusual to find two exactly similar medals to the same recipient being sent for sale at the same time by unrelated vendors who live 5,000 miles apart
