Danish "double" war medal 1848-1850 & 1864 only 3000 issued

Messaggio da Egorka »

Hello,

On sale the original Danish Schleswig Wars "double" medal (Erindringsmedaljen for krigene 1848-50 og 1864). It is quite rare, as it was only issued and awarded to app. 3000 men who participated in both conflicts, i.e. 1848-1850 and 1864. You can read about the medal and the historical background in the article by Russel G. Furtado, "Danish War Medals for the Wars of 1848-1850 and 1864", JOMSA 2010, vol.61, p.14-24. Available online on JOMSA site 4 parts: Condition as on photographs. With very little wear. The medal will be delivered with original 19th century issue ribbon (showing some wear).
Accompaning material: several (6) printed photo copies of medal applications from veterans to Krigsministeriet (see examples). In Danish, transcription and translation to English can be discussed. Gives some extra insight on some of potential bears of this medal and their war experience. Who knows, with only 3000 issued, maybe this medal belonged to one of them. :)

This "double" medal is rarely seen on sale. Here is your chance to have it for 290 Euro. The latest sale (Summer 2016) from a known British dealer was for 245GBP with modern replica acrylic ribbon and without any supporting material.
Please, PM in case of any questions.

Kind regards/ Igor (OMSD member)
