 Mexican War Shield. Veterans of the Mexican War. Silver. Choice Extremely Fine. 34.9 x 31.3 mm. 237.2 gns. Unnamed and unmarked. Pinback. A different style than the preceding and apparently for a different veterans organization. The motif is simpler, showing a vessel at left, canon and cactus in the foreground, soldiers at right assaulting a fortress on a hill. Plated in the Betts sale.
Ex Benjamin Betts Collection (Lyman Low, January 11, 1898, lot 334); F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
