sabrigade Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 The Waterloo medal has always had a special fascination for me and I added one of these medal to my collection many years ago.

Ulsterman Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Incredible relics! Is the gorget part of the Cotten Museum collection?
peter monahan Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Great! The best I can do is a replica Waterloo Medal, which is still sitting in my cuff link box while I find a frame and print to mount with it.
sabrigade Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the positive comments. Ulsterman, the relics were mounted in the same frame that I used for the display and I am not sure of their origin. I bought them from a dealer in South Africa. Are my descriptions correct? Regards, Will
Ulsterman Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) I think so, but must go consult the books. the gorget might be a Grenadier line company officers. By the way, that Guards medal is superb. it saw a lot of history. Edited April 24, 2013 by Ulsterman
