Description
Bushranger Medal, Colony of New South Wales, Granted For Gallant And Faithful Services, struck in white metal, no suspension fitted, reverse impressed, 'NSWRI/1876/JERRY MURPHY'. In unofficial case, very fine.
Listed in R.M.Williams 1st edition as awarded a silver medal to Sergeant Murphy NSWRI 1878. Also illustrated in Apprehension of Bushrangers Medal and Awards by Les Carlisle A.F.A.N.S., p38, as a silver medal but with recipient's record in bushranger apprehension unidentified. Our firm's opinion is that the medal is white metal and not silver.
