Cornish and Chelsea Pensioner Crimean War (1853-1856) Medal Grouping.A nice original trio of medals to '1173. SAPR. JOHN STEPHENS. ROYAL ENGINEERS' and purchased directly from the family and fresh to the collecting community.
This medal group includes:
- Crimean War Medal with Sebastopol Bar and faded original ribbon (un-named)
- 'La Crimea' (Sardinia Issue) Turkish Crimea Medal (un-named, as issued)
- Victorian Swivel Scroll Suspender Army Long Service Medal named to rim '1173. SAPR. JOHN STEPHENS. ROYAL ENGINEERS'
(The Medal Year Book, 2025: 128, 129 and 219)
All of the ribbons on these medals are original and are heavily faded and worn, but there is nothing like original ribbons on such old medals, we would have it no other way!
