Ever wanted to own a VC made by Hancocks of London.... you know, the people that make the actual VC???

I've just placed an order for one of a limited supply of copy VCs in a handmade presentation box, for £365 + postage. It is a lot of money, but they are only producing the same number as the amount of VCs awarded!

Here's a link to their site, but I have not been able to find anything on there about these copies - it may be worth e-mailing them if you are interested.

I forgot to mention - each one is numbered and has Hancocks on the reverse of the medal. The pics are from the British Medals Forum (of which I am a member).
