Lads, I'm looking for info about when medals were first given to the winners of the All-Irelands, what they were made of, did the GAA issue them or was it the winning counties themselves?

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
Anyone travelling to Leeds to work/study are welcome to join St. Benedicts Harps GAA in Leeds.

Have heard of a few old ones coming up at auction over the years. Not sure where you'd start to research.

If you ring Mealy's they will tell you.  They have so many of them down in Kilkenny they are selling them!
