Waterloo 1815 (Thomas Goods. 2nd or R.N. Brit. Reg. Drag.) fitted with original steel clip and ring suspension, some minor marks and lightly polished, otherwise good very fine £3,800-£4,400 --- Provenance: Colonel Murray Collection, Sotheby 1928. Thomas Goods was born in the Parish of Panckern, near Bromyard, Herefordshire, and enlisted for the 2nd Dragoons at Worcester on 13 March 1804, aged 19, for unlimited service. He served in Captain Poole’s Troop at Waterloo and although this troop was very much in the thick of the action, Goods appears to have escaped injury. He served in the regiment for 22 years and 32 days and was discharged at Dublin on 13 April 1826, in consequence of being ‘worn out in the service’. He was admitted to an out-pension at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, on 17 May 1826, at the rate of 1s per day. Sold with copied discharge papers.
Naval Engineers’ Good Conduct Medal 1842-46 (Mr. William Dunkin, First Class Engineer) with loop and small ring suspension, an 1875 restrike, good very fine, rare £400-£500 --- Provenance: Spink, December 1986. Only seven Naval Engineers’ Good Conduct Medals were awarded during the medal’s short existence 1842-46. William Dunkin was awarded his Naval Engineers’ Good Conduct Medal in 1842, whilst serving as First Class Engineer in H.M.S. Gleaner. For further information on the recipient, and this medal, see Naval Medals 1793-1856 by Captain K. J. Douglas-Morris. Note: The recipient’s original medal, sold at Glendining’s in November 1933, formed part of the Captain K. J. Douglas-Morris Collection of Naval Medals. Both the original medal, and the later striking offered here, are identically named, and both are illustrated in Naval Medals 1793-1856 by Captain K. J. Douglas-Morris.
Nelson Testimonial Medal 1844, by E. Avern, 60mm, pewter, the obverse featuring a bust of Nelson facing left, enclosed by a garter, ‘England Expects Every Man Will do His Duty’; the reverse featuring a view of the Column in Trafalgar Square, with the National Gallery and the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in the background, ‘To Commemorate the Opening of the Nelson Testimonial in Trafalgar Squ.’, the exergue dated ‘21 October 1844’, pierced for ring suspension as usual (Ref: Hardy 97, M.H. 531) numerous shallow edge cuts on obverse, otherwise very fine or better, the high relief portrait particularly clear, a pleasing example overall and extremely rare £400-£500 --- These Testimonial Medals were presented to 357 Greenwich Pensioners who had served at all four of Nelson’s major actions - St. Vincent (39), Nile (35), Copenhagen (45), and Trafalgar (238) - along with a gratuity of ten shillings in a ceremony at Greenwich Hospital on 2 April 1845. The cost of the medals was provided by the Testimonial Committee of the Parishioners of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields who had originally intended to use the funds for a special ceremony on the completion of the Column (at the time known as ‘Nelson’s Testimonial’ on 1-2 November 1843, at which a number of the pensioners were to be present. This had to be cancelled due to inclement weather and then a second public ceremony, to be held on the Queen’s birthday, 24 May 1844, was also cancelled due to the entreaties of local tradesmen. Captain Douglas-Morris knew of only one Testimonial Medal paired with a Naval General Service, and of fewer than ten single examples. For further information, see his Naval Medals 1793-1856, pp. 49-53, from where it is clear that very few of these medals - despite the number apparently presented - seem to have survived.
