Mounting

At JB Military Antiques we offer a professional and timely medal mounting service. This service starts from $35 per medal. All you need to do is bring your medals or items in for us to inspect and offer the most appropriate method of mounting and display.

We traditionally sew mount our medals, rather than glue them as is common practice today. Cardboard is out in regards to the backing material we use for full-size medals, as over time this will start to bend inwards and will begin to fall apart from the inside.

To ensure medals are mounted in the correct way, we have reference guides to ensure that the medals are mounted in the correct order, according to the policy laid out by the Australian Honours and Awards System.

The default wearing style of medals is court-mounted, meaning the medals and pin back are sewn into a hard backing. On request, we can mount your medals in the traditional swing style.

You will need to come into the shop or contact us with your requirements as we will need to know how many and which type of medals you need mounting. We can also supply replica medals, badges, ribbon bars and other related items to add to your medals for wearing or framing.

Miniature medal replicas can also be supplied and mounted, which is a great way for kids to participate in proudly wearing a set of medals for ANZAC or Remembrance Day.
