Hi Nick. My book is about the Kearny Medal and the Kearny Cross. I own a nice KC but would love a KM. I know the dealer you mentioned and have color photos of that beautiful medal to include in the book. I've seen several OMSA articles on the subject but don't recall that one off hand and I'm away from my records. Do you have the reference? I suppose that that dealer wrote it?
I'm writing a biography of each recipient (about 803 so far, combined, including
four women). I've consulted more than 200 sources so far but I'm also pulling all of their service and pension records - so it will be a while
.
I have a copy of the pamphlet. It contains 315 recipients (3 are unnumbered, #92/#270 is a duplication, and 6 numbered ones are unassigned). If you have a different one, I'd love to see it! And I know of at least two recipients of the KM whose names don't appear on that list.
At last count I had 203 photos of the recipients, including 56 in which they are wearing the KM and 8 are wearing the KC.

Nice to know you. Will you be at the Gettysburg show this weekend?
