War With Spain Army No. 7416

[tarheelyankee]

Hello all, 

   Picked up this gem off eBay last week and am hopeful one of our more knowledgeable and experienced Forum friends here might be able to put a name/unit/hometown of the awardee to this nice early campaign medal. No ribbon or brooch as evidenced from the pics, but nicely numbered No. 7416, which I believes falls just  in the traceable range.

   Thanks to all for any help forthcoming, as this is another nice early award from our “splendid little war” at the turn of the last century. Thanks again……

Tom….Tarheelyankee

you should try to make a deal with this seller (or the buyer) .  The ribbon/brooch be perfect to restore your medal.
