A good example of the Waterloo Medal with silver stylised straight bar suspension, along with the Hanoverian war Medal struck in bronze from captured French canons and only awarded to those that actually fought against the enemy. Bade also fought in the Penninsular Wars, and was awarded the MGS with Salamanca, Vittoria & Toulouse clasps in 1849. Over the years, the MGS has become split up from Bade's Waterloo Medal, but has appeared at auction in Baldwins in 1934, Glendinnings in 1957, Baldwins again in 1958 and Haywood in 1974. It isn't known where the MGS is today, but there obviously is the chance to re-unite Bade's medals. The Waterloo Medal has survived in overall very good condition, but does have weak naming in parts.
