Description
This is a very RARE original 1815 Military medal from the Battle of Waterloo , the 92nd Gordon Highlanders. There are very few surviving medals from this battle, and to find one in such excellent condition is very unusual. We have left the natural tarnish stay on the medal as opposed to cleaning it- but even with the tarnish you can see how amazingly well this medal is preserved. The top metal placard has Waterloo and June 18th , 1815 imprinted on it.
As with all of these Waterloo military award medals this is also engraved with the recipient warrior's name on the edge. Our photography is poor but we did try to show the name: Patt Carlton and the Ist I A T 92nd Highlanders that is imprinted on the side.
The Highlander 92nd were fierce fighters at Waterloo and there is considerable historic reports about them.
These medals are rare, and even rarer are ones from the 92nd Highlanders.
The approximate measurements are :
Diameter of medal: 35.5 mm ( 1.4 inches)
Height of placard, ribbon and medal in total. 165 mm (6.5 inches)
If you need additional measurements or information please inquire.
