1854 Indian Mutiny medal with one clasp: LUCKNOW. Silver, 36 mm. MY-121 (clasp iv), BBM-77. Swivel mount and scroll suspension. Extremely Fine.
Edge impressed GUNNER Wm INGRAM. 14th Bn R. ARTy. Polished to brilliance, with light reflectivity on both sides. Sharp and appealing.
Old photocopied records that accompany this medal note that Ingram's "conduct has been very good" and affirm that he is "in possession of two (2) Good Conduct Badges." The document also mentions "he is in possession of the Indian Mutiny Medal, with Clasp for 'Capture of Lucknow.'" That's all the good news, but he also "has been once tried by court martial." He was imprisoned from 5 September 1861 through 1 October 1861. His 1867 discharge was due to paralysis from a fall while not on duty. The former weaver from the town of Ballinderry in County Antrim had been in the service, at that time, for more than 12 years. An 1858 company return affirms that he was "engaged in the operations against Lucknow from 2nd to 16th March 1858."
Offered with a modern ribbon.
Estimate: $200 - $400.
Provenance: From the Gem Collection.
