British Victorian Distinguished Conduct Full Size Medal 1st Devon Regiment REPLACEMENT

The British Victorian Distinguished Conduct Full Size Medal 1st Devon Regiment Replacement is a replica of the gallantry medal originally instituted in 1854 during the reign of Queen Victoria. The Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) was awarded to non-commissioned officers and other ranks of the British Army for distinguished conduct in the field, making it one of the most respected military decorations of its time. This full-size replacement features a silver finish and reproduces the obverse profile of Queen Victoria, with the inscription reflecting the period. The reverse typically presents the words “FOR DISTINGUISHED CONDUCT IN THE FIELD.” The attached ribbon is crimson with a central navy blue stripe, as per the Victorian era specification. The example here is designated for the 1st Devon Regiment, one of the historic line infantry regiments of the British Army, signifying regimental association. This item serves as a faithful stand-in for the original medal and is intended for collection, display, or reenactment purposes.
