Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me about the silver markings on this 1921 football medal please. Can you tell me if it has a value?

Ballyhalbert (formerly known as Talbotston and Halbertston) is a small village and townland in County Down, Northern Ireland.
I found several J. Bell footballers en.wikipedia.org/
Jack Bell (John James Bell) was born 2 March 1891. He was an English professional footballer
en.wikipedia.org/
In 1921 he played for Grimsby Town and Loughborough Corinthians. I don't think he won the medal.
Another Bell Johnnie www.vintagefootballers.com/
He was a Scotland footballer. After the War he joined Dundee in 1919.
The Ards FC website mentions J.Bell that he played with Billy Nixon in the 1965/66 season: "Ards falling to a heavy 6-0 defeat. Ards - S.Kydd, M.Bittles, J.Menary, J.Kennedy, R.Houston, J.Bell, J.Herron, J.McClurg, R.Keogh, B.Nixon, R.Mowat." But he's not the right age - he could not play in both 1921 and 1965.

Ballyhalbert is in Northern Ireland. You have a piece that is antique, as it is over 100 years old. There was a Royal Air Force base there at one time. You have a piece of history here, and I would take it to a dealer. It is worth much more than the silver itself.
This silver medal is listed for $38.00:

Since this is a unique medal, it would be very difficult to place a value as I feel sure it will be almost impossible to find a sold medal like this.
If I was looking for information, I would ask my questions on Reddit first and then go from there.
Don't forget: more pictures, measurements, any background information you may have; how did you get the medal? Family? purchase? You will have to join (free) and it is not always easy to post pictures but if you really want good information, keep asking until you get it posted.
