Silver Coin 'Trench Art' Pendant - 'Natal Police, Insp. O. Dimmick' (1908)
This lovely 'Natal Police' sporting prize trench art pendant, awarded to 'Insp. O. Dimmick' in 1908, was made using a Victorian silver coin, with an engraved inscription on one side, which reads 'N.P.F.F.S' 'OFFICERS RACE' '1ST PRIZE, WON BY INSP. O. DIMMICK ENTONJANENI' 'AUG 1908'. I've included a photograph of the recipient in uniform amongst the photographs. The pendant is in excellent condition and measures 29mm x 23mm and weighs 5,7g.
NOTE: According to the Natal Almanac of 1899, Insp. Dimmick was a Sub-Inspector & Adjutant in the Natal Police at the time and I've read, was a Major with the same unit in the 1906 Natal Bambatha Rebellion. 'Entonjaneni' was a police district, one of seventeen in the Colony of Natal.
