Helmet of polished steel having a peak and lobster tail back that are decorated with brass trim, a high ornamental raised brass comb that is faced with a Medusa's head, with flowing horsehair mane attached. A decorative plume socket, with red brush, is fitted and mounted above the Medusa’s head. To the front of the helmet body is fitted a brass plate that features a flaming grenade with laurel branches either side. A plume socket of brass is fitted to the left side of the helmet body complete with red plume and a leather chinstrap, faced with brass chin scales. Inside, the helmet has seven tongues of leather lining showing some wear. A small, stamped makers mark on the rear of the helmet is stamped A. GOD***CT.

An excessively rare and historically important pre federation Western Australian GOLD Police 1897 Jubilee/Long Service Medal and engraved presentation gold Waltham pocket watch. Both presented to Inspector E.G.Back (Fremantle).
Three very important aspects of the medal need to be borne in mind. Firstly, it is a unique and extremely rare commemorative medal. Secondly, it is in addition a long service and good conduct medal, the eligibility being limited to members of the Force “of long service and good character”. Thirdly, in regard to point two, it was the first official medal of that kind ever struck for any organisation of any type in Australia.
Born in Fremantle in 1839, Edward George Back is truly one of the "first West Australians". Son of a Master Mariner (who was the pilot in Fremantle Harbour and Rottnest) and spent 30 years in the WA Police Force. Included in this lot are an illuminated colour invitation to the "Australian Commonwealth Celebrations 1901", An illustrated invitation from the Government of Western Australia for the Royal Visit 1901 and an official letter relating to same.
This is the only GOLD Medal of the 10 awarded that is known to survive. For some further details, please visit http://policewahistory.org.au/html_pages/Gold_medal.html
