FAQs
What is a military medal mount?
A military medal mount refers to the process of securely attaching medals to a bar or backing for display, wear or preservation. This ensures that the medals are neatly aligned, protected and compliant with official standards.
Want your medals mounted with expertise and attention to detail? Choose Ironside Military, where we provide expert military medal mounting services that proudly honour your or your loved one’s service and achievements.
What are the different types of medal mounting?
The two main types of medal mounting are:
- Court mounting — Medals are securely affixed to a backing board, keeping them flat and preventing movement. This style is often required for official military ceremonies and inspections.
- Swing mounting — Medals are attached to a bar and allowed to swing freely. This traditional style is less rigid and can show the full ribbon length.
At Ironside Military, we provide both, along with ribbon bars and other services to suit your needs, ensuring your medals and achievements align with personal preferences and official requirements.
What are the guidelines for mounting medals?
Guidelines for mounting military medals typically include arranging them in order of precedence, with the highest honours displayed closest to the heart. Medals must be attached securely, with ribbons cut and aligned to precise lengths. Each service branch may have specific standards, which we adhere to with our expertise and experience.
Can I mount medals myself?
While it’s possible to mount medals yourself, it requires precision, specialised materials and knowledge of official guidelines. Improper mounting can damage the medals or render them non-compliant for formal wear. For a professional finish that honours your service, we recommend using Ironside Military’s medal mounting services.
Can civilian awards be mounted with military medals?
Yes, civilian awards can be mounted alongside military medals, provided they adhere to the official order of precedence. Our team at Ironside Military ensures that all awards, whether military or civilian, are mounted correctly and respectfully, creating a unified display that reflects your accomplishments.
