BRITISH AND FOREIGN WAR MEDALS, CROSSES, BADGES

British and foreign medals, crosses, badges, decorations and Miscellaneous medals in the collection of Lieutenant-Colonel H F Eaton, Grenadier Guards. The Eaton collection is probably one of the most outstanding medal collections ever formed; it would be medals from his cabinets that would eventually provide classic cornerstones for many of today's serious collections. Eaton had amassed a staggering quantity of superb pieces in his twelve cabinets, including a naval Victoria Cross and five army VCs. Reprint of the 1880 original edition.
