Medals awarded to police and paramilitary forces were, in most cases, not officially manufactured and issued, but were, instead, made locally by independent manufacturers. Policemen could either buy them from these shops or the battalions could buy them and give them to the qualifying constables. This gave rise to great variability in manufacture and even in design details. These issues are often observed unnamed, although the official version was normally named on the edge.{{cn|date=October | Medals awarded to police and paramilitary forces were, in most cases, not officially manufactured and issued, but were, instead, made locally by independent manufacturers.
