Crimea 1854-56, 4 clasps, Alma, Balaklava, Inkermann, Sebastopol (J. Buller. 1st. Bn. Rifle Bge.) contemporarily engraved naming, extremely fine £600-800

James Buller served with the 1st Battalion, Rifle Brigade in the Crimea, and died at Scutari on 1 February 1855.

Note: Although the vast majority of Crimea medals issued to the next of kin of those who were killed or died of wounds/ disease were officially impressed by the Royal Mint, a small number of medals to Officers, and to members of the Rifle Brigade, were issued slightly earlier than would otherwise have been possible with engraved naming, the latter thanks to the influence of the Rifle Brigade’s Commander in Chief, H.R.H. Prince Albert.
