As Philip's Victoria Volunteer Long & Efficient Service Medal states that he served in the Williamstown Naval Brigade, this indicates that his medal was issued after 1885 and before 1894, when the type II medals were issued.
Below is Philip's Victoria Volunteer Long & Efficient Service Medal modified so as to be worn as a brooch/badge. This is one of only 62 of these medals issued to members of the Victorian Naval Forces. See the medals webpage for more information.
