Exquisite Gold and Silver American Washington Blues (Maryland Volunteer Militia) Shooting Medal, Presented to Isaac DuBois Cloud, July 4, 1835, with the Original Custom Embroidered Folk Art Storage Case.The medal is solid silver, 36-mm; the gold wreath, 33-mm. The planchet weighs 20 grams in total. The wreath is separately affixed and beautifully cast with a flower and leaf motif. The edge of the medal exhibits an incised engraved line with additional engraved details at the corners. The medal is expertly inscribed in flowing script inside the wreath, "For the/ Best Shot/ Isaac D. Cloud". The reverse of the medal also displays a decoratively engraved border and bears the inscription, "by the/ Washington Blues/ July 4th 1835".
Isaac DuBois Cloud was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1816 and died in Baltimore on June 15, 1848. He was just nineteen years old when he was awarded this medal. The medal is suspended from a 3/8-inch wide black silk ribbon that is attached to the tip of the closure flap of the original custom made black wool felt storage case. The inside flap and the pouch of the case are elaborately decorated with intertwined loops of 1/16-inch wide red silk and gold bullion tape, the border of the case and flap with a delicately hand stitched 1/8-inch border of red/ orange wool thread. The entire presentation is in pristine condition and is absolutely stunning.
Condition: Most rare and a superb addition to either an American militaria or silver collection.
