I have collected a plethora of stuff for 30 plus years and now have too much stuff. We are now focusing on downsizing some of our collections. Ask and verify, don’t assume – you know what that makes both of us. We like older, vintage items, and we know condition is a key factor. The photos will show you the condition – and if you’re still not sure, ask. Photos show condition and are to be considered above any written information. If it is there in the photo, then it is there on the item. Terms such as “fair condition, great condition, excellent, etc” are all very SUBJECTIVE to each individual and collector. Photos are factual – as you will receive exactly the item in the photos. We all make mistakes, especially when creating a lot of listings, or we might not use the same terminology as you do for an item. Check the photos out on your mega wide screen t.

Antique 1798 ORIGINAL Bronze British Military Naval Battle Victory of The Nile Medal. History – All of the following info i acquired from a website that notates all of the history and details about this medal. The Victory of the Nile Medal is a commemorative medal awarded to British naval officers and men who participated in the Battle of the Nile, which took place on August 1, 1798. The medal was established by Alexander Davison, the prize agent to Horatio Nelson, to commemorate the British victory over French forces under Admiral François-Paul Brueys d’Aigalliers. The medal features an obverse design with the figure of Peace holding an olive branch, with an inscription “EUROPE’S HOPE AND BRITAIN’S GLORY” and the name “REAR-ADMIRAL LORD NELSON OF THE NILE” around the circumference. The reverse side depicts a view of the fleet sailing into Aboukir Bay, with the inscription “ALMIGHTY GOD HAS BLESSED HIS MAJESTY’S ARMS” and the date “VICTORY OF THE NILE AUGUST 1 1798″ in the exergue. The edge is engraved with the inscription A TRIBUTE OF REGARD FROM ALEXR DAVISON ESQR. ST JAMES’S SQUARE. The Victory of the Nile Medal is a significant historical artifact, commemorating a pivotal naval battle that marked a turning point in the French Revolutionary Wars.

This is truly an antique and very special. It is a Bronze Medal awarded to chaplains of the Army and Navy after World War 1. It was designed by Laura G Fraser, who is a famous artist in her own right, but also the wife of James E. Fraser, who designed the Indian head nickel. I believe they were issued/created somewhere around 1920. Any reasonable offers will be considered. Also, 20% of the sale will go to the K9s for Warriors foundation.
