First let me state that any re-engraved medal is comparatively valueless, and that those who purchase high-priced medals should not trust to their own judgment, but employ the services of those experts and dealers who possess the necessary technical knowledge and have at their command the means of identification. The names on the Waterloo medals were impressed with Roman capitals like ~ROBERTS~ or ~MURPHY~, so large that they left little margin between the edge of the medal and the top and bottom of the letters. The Peninsular, or Military General Service, medal had the names indented in Roman capitals as follows: ~STEWARD~. The same type was used on the Naval General Service and the Army of India medals, also the Mutiny medal. On the Afghan medal of 1842, for Candahar, Ghuznee, and Cabul, the same kind of Roman capitals were used, but sometimes rather larger and narrower, and the down-strokes somewhat lighter: these medals were not always impressed, and many were engraved in this style ~John~ and others in a light script. The Punjab medals for 1849 were indented in the same style as the M.G.S. medal; but on many of the Sutlej medals the rather taller type of Roman capital was used. The South Africa 1853 medals were named with the same letters as the M.G.S. medals.

Some were also impressed in large and others in small skeleton Roman, so, ~MURRAY~, many were engraved in square Roman capitals, and others in upper and lower case upright block. The India General Service medal, 1854, had the names mostly impressed with the same type as the M.G.S. medals up to Bhootan 1864-6; some, particularly naval medals, were named in a smaller kind of Roman capitals stamped closer together. The same type of Roman capital was likewise used on the New Zealand medals, while the China medals for 1857 and 1860, which were only named for the army, had the names indented in the same type. But the naming on the China medal for 1842 was very characteristic, and heavy Roman impressed capitals of a square nature, like ~DUNCAN~, were employed in the stamping, with three long stars to fill the gap on either side between the name and the lug of the suspender. The Abyssinian medal is distinctive in its naming, the recipient's name and regiment being impressed in relief on the centre of the reverse, or, in the case of the Indian troops, in the same manner or struck incuse, while some are engraved. The Canada General Service medal has the names indented in square block capitals, as ~BROCK~, or in caps and lower case, as ~Boston~. Some were engraved in square upright Roman capitals.
