Jacobs had a number of PLMs, the original in the photo and a few others that are now mounted on his diaries and the like and the crowned one given on his 50th anniversary. The one in the photo does not have the crown as it was his field medal I believe.

The collection maintained by the guys in Denver (most notably Andy Parks and Stephen Lawson both members of the aerodrome) is the product of donations given to Andy’s Grandfather who if I am not mistaken was a physician in WW1 and treated many pilots; both Allied and non Allied forces. After the war he became very close friends to a number of the survivors and upon their passing their wives generally sent everything to Dr Parks: a person they could trust. (paintings, uniforms, medals, parts of planes, …) As a result, there are literally REAMS of ultimate cool WW1 artifacts located there including a lot of MFR’s personal items as well as the majority of the complete collection of JJ: photos, medals, goblets, diaries and so on. If you ever are in Denver you must drop by or suffer the loss for the rest of your existence. look

They would welcome you with open arms as they did me.
