Army Temperance Medals Grouping to one recipient, Association of India (ATAI), Scarce
Attractively displayed, there are four items to this piece, which appears to have been worn by the same recipient. It comprises:
1) Original ATAI "3 year" yellow and maroon ribbon, circa 3.6cm wide
2) Ornate Fidelity bar (unmarked silver) indicating two years abstinence, with early pattern pin fitting (later versions had a brooch fitting) with original 3.5cm lenth of pin, bar is 4cm wide at widest part
3) Sewn to middle of ribbon an ATAI 3 year silver medal in the shape of a square with 25mm sides suspended by a corner, with original ornate swivelling suspension bar
4) attached to the bottom of the ribbon by just a domestic pin, the ATAI one year abstinence medal which is in unmarked silver, and about 34mm in diameter, with the date 1897.
Great to find these medals mounted as they were worn.
