Watch List notes:

ORDERS, DECORATIONS AND MILITARY MEDALS, Miscellaneous, A Fascinating Letter from Benedetto Pistrucci, Chief Medallist to the Royal Mint, dated 23 July 1829 to J C Herries, Master of the Royal Mint in which Pistrucci requests that his son Raphael be appointed his assistant and protests against the unfair treatment of himself compared with William Wyon, the chief engraver, he further complains that permission to accept a request from the East India Company to engrave the Burma War Medal was refused but that William Wyon was now doing that job. Very fine and rare.
