spielhahnjaeger Posted June 28, 2025 #1 Posted June 28, 2025 Hello all - picked this up on a whim years ago and would love to learn more about it. It's made by Tiffany & Co and numbered 227 on the reverse - I understand these are researchable? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
USMCR79 Posted June 28, 2025 #3 Posted June 28, 2025 Keep in mind that this style of planchet was used on the 10 year medal (Class 4) and the 15 year medal (Class 3) Number 227 Class 4 was issued in 1894 to Captain George J. Becker from Company "G" 65th Infantry Regiment New York Militia Number 227 Class 3 was issued in 1896 to Hospital Steward Thomas W. Linton with the 7th Infantry Regiment New York Militia This medal could have belonged to either of these men but I am more apt to think Linton since I have found a lot of 10 year medals intact with the suspension buckle since it is bronze. Most of the 15 year medals have the buckle removed and sold off separately since it is gold. Bill
Fredrmar Posted January 2 #5 Posted January 2 Looks like Bill may be an expert on these. Would appreciate any ID you can provide on these:
