Britain - 1935 Silver National Rifle Association Medal
Offered is a gorgeous, sterling (.925AR) silver medal hallmarked for Birmingham, 1935. The substantial 48mm diameter and 51.6g weight of this piece serve to make the ever-popular design all the more impressive, while a crisp strike lends a prooflike appearance overall. Being as struck, the fields of this medal have toned with exquisite cobalt and charcoal hues, giving the impression of an almost electric-blue patina.
While bronze medals of this design are encountered with some frequency, silver medals, especially with dates of manufacture this early, can be a serious ask. All in all, a choice example of a popular design in a scarce composition - what more can you ask for?
