Crimea 1854-56, three clasps, Alma, Inkermann, Sebastopol (Pvte. Richd. Cheer Scots Fs. Gds.), contemporarily engraved in large serif capitals, nearly very fine

3542 Private Richard Cheer, born Abingdon, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), 1827; enlisted in the Scots Fusilier Guards, June 1847; served with the Regiment in the Crimea, February 1854 to April 1856; awarded Long Service & Good Conduct Medal; discharged, July 1868, after 21 years and 47 days with the Colours.

The recipient's entitlement to the medal, but not the clasps, is confirmed per the respective medal roll of 1st Battalion Scots Fusiliers Guards (ref WO 100/25). As the rivets on the medal all appear original as issued, it would suggest that the recipient was issued a three clasp medal in error.
