1848 British Naval General Service medal with one clasp. ENDYMION Wh. PRESIDENT. Silver, 36 mm. MY-94 (clasp clxxv), BBM-39. About Uncirculated. JOHN BARNETT. punched on edge. Nicely reflective but with some signs of old polishing that attractive golden toning has somewhat remedied. Scattered marks and signs of handling are seen on the medal, and the clasp is gently bowed at its center.<p>As noted in our Ford catalog, "Barnett was aboard the <em>Endymion</em> as a Supernumerary Private, Royal Marines." The <em>Endymion</em> met the USS <em>President</em> off New York Harbor, near New Jerseys Sandy Hook, on January 15, 1815, during the War of 1812. <em>Endymion</em> was part of the blockade of New York City, the <em>President</em>s home port. During a storm, the <em>President</em> ventured out of the harbor, fell in with the ships of the British blockage, and over the course of hours exchanged fire with <em>Endymion</em>. Much damaged by the cannonades, <em>Endymion</em> was at last reinforced by <em>Pomone</em> and <em>Tenedos</em>, forcing the <em>President</em> into a surrender. Commodore Stephen Decatur turned his disabled ship over, was extended several courtesies to recognize his stature and the valor of his defense (including the chance to write a letter to his wife), and then was transported to Bermuda as the prisoner of the <em>Endymion</em>. He was paroled at the end of hostilities and transported to New London, Connecticut in February 1815. <p>Just 58 clasps were awarded to those aboard <em>Endymion</em>, making this not only a desirable clasp from a War of 1812 naval action, but a scarce one as well. Another medal with this clasp, awarded to James Richardson, was in Morton and Edens October 2006 sale of Part 2 of the American Numismatic Society Collection, lot 654. It had last been sold in 1883. More recently, an example named to John Atherton was sold by DNW in September 2016. A two-clasp medal for <em>Endymion</em> and COPENHAGEN 1801 named to Geo. V. Oughton Purser. brought 11,400 pounds in a 2020 DNW sale.<p>The provenance published for this piece in the Ford VII sale was incorrect.<p>Offered with a modern ribbon. From the Gem Collection. <p> Earlier from the collection of Carleton S. Gifford of Boston (fl. 1916-1934); Glendinings sale of May 1985, lot 27 (plated); our (Stacks) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part VII, January 2005, lot 382. <p>
