2017 church service and plaque, wax models
Regarding this information, about the instalation of a plaque at the church in Virginia Water, removed due to the lack of a source, there was something about it in The Times last year, here.

The newly reopened Museum of the Mint in Rome (the Museo della Zecca di Roma) appears to have a display of wax sculptures by Pistrucci, including models of his "St George and the Dragon" design, here. 31.74.241.93 (talk) 14:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will look into how best to include any relevant information from those in the articles.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:44, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Should have mentioned that the Rome Mint Museum also has some of Pistrucci's original wax models of his Waterloo Medal, including the "definitive" models of each face. And there are electrotype examples at the British Museum, one bronze and one silver. (The BM catalogue entries mention some copies made in 1967.) And several  examples at the Metropolitan Museum, in bronze, lead, and a modern one in gold. 31.74.123.41 (talk) 22:18, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I've added a couple of those as external links, in this and the Waterloo Medal articles. Thank you. If you want to add back the Virginia Water information, I have no objection.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:01, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

I think I'll leave that to someone who knows how to weave it in properly. The Rome Mint Museum pages argue that Pistrucci's "Greek style" St George and the Dragon was influenced by the Elgin Marbles, which had themselves only recently arrived in London; and that the composition of the Waterloo Medal was based on the Shield of Achilles. 31.74.123.41 (talk) 12:20, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
