On offer is an original British Efficiency Medal awarded for long and efficient service in the Territorial Army and Army Volunteer Reserve during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. This example bears the T and AVR clasp and displays the crowned first portrait of Elizabeth II with the reverse inscribed FOR EFFICIENT SERVICE.

The Efficiency Medal was introduced in 1930 to recognise sustained and reliable service in Britain’s reserve forces. Medals with the T and AVR designation relate to a comparatively short period following the reorganisation of the Territorial Army in 1967. Issues of this type continued until 1982 when the Efficiency Medal was discontinued, making T and AVR examples a clearly defined and finite issue. Earlier Elizabeth II medals were struck in silver before later production moved to base metal, adding to the desirability of surviving silver examples.

The medal is complete with its correct green and navy ribbon with yellow edges and retains strong detail to both obverse and reverse. The rim is officially impressed with the recipient’s service details, confirming it as an original issued award rather than a replacement. A fine example of a British long service medal that reflects commitment and dedication within the post war reserve forces.
