Kurhessian Waterloo Metal


Recommended Posts

Bronze, dated 1821. I believe this is another piece made from captured French cannons. 1814, 1815 Waterloo. Correct ribbon?

Yes, all quite correct. A nice historic medal, and known to be cast in bronze from captured French cannon - also with correct original ribbon.
Many of these look as thought the ball fitting at the top has been repaired or re-soldered at some stage, they were probably originally soldered with tin (Zinn) N.B.: For the campaign 1814 and 1815.
