I thought it was a fondue set until i noticed the strange carvings on the box..I sent an image to the British Museum and they sought the advice of an old professor (who was busy with the process of remaining relevant) in the "state the bleeding obvious" section of the library.He hummed and harred for 0.000000012 microseconds and sent a e mail reply before my startled eyebrow had time to return to base and low and behold its a bleeding medal from the 1992 semi final of the FA cup..who would have thought?..Isn't modern science wonderful?...I hope that helps?
