Police & organizational details

Irish Police Games medals from the early 1980s–1980s period, especially those produced by Euro-TAB Ltd. of Dublin, are increasingly difficult to locate. Sets that include multiple years, different sports, a matching enamel pin, and confirmed Irish maker provenance are particularly desirable to Garda Síochána, Irish police, and Police Games collectors.

• Both medals feature a “D.M.A.” banner at the top

• Front text includes “COISTE ROINNE” (Irish/Gaelic wording associated with committee/section designation)

• Central castle/fortress shield emblem consistent with Irish heraldic imagery

• Celtic cross-style layout with enamel accents

• These are Police Games awards/committee medals, not souvenir items
