British & American Rev.

Hello,

I just got in a new book and they have some pictures of some British & American merit decorations from the American Revolution. The four pictures in the book are not very good and are in black & white.

This one hardly shows up in the book but it does has a nice design.

4)British silver decoration, "A Testimony of Public Regard," "By Order of the King with 300 Pound for the wound Capt. Ewing Reevd the 17 of June 1775."
