RARE AND FINE PAIR OF MEXICAN WAR VETERAN BADGES OF JAMES A. TERREL, 8TH US INFANTRY.

1) large bronze Mexican War veteran medal, though not exceptionally rare, is scarce and rarely found in such fine original condition with the original red, white and blue ribbon in such solid condition. 2) quite rare and rarely offered is the 1-1/2″ gold miniature medal. Both medals are finely engraved on versos “JAMES A TERREL / CO. K / 8TH U.S. INF.”. Accompanying these medals was a custom medal case for a round silver medal that is mentioned in an accompanying partial obituary. This case has long housed the bronze medal explaining its fine condition. The obituary also mentions both of these medals and that the large 2-1/2″ shield on the red, white and blue ribbon was made from captured Mexican cannon. Obituary mentions some of his history serving under Col. W. J. Worth part of Winfield Scott’s Army in Mexico. CONDITION: Bronze medal and ribbon is very good to fine. Soldered top pin is loose at one solder joint, unaffecting aesthetics. Bronze is well patinaed with some toning. Gold medal has seen more use with some wear, but with good discernible markings and inscription. 51830-1 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2020
