SA-1838  Among the rarest of all Civil war items we have ever offered. This is the numbered, Civil War Sailors Campaign Medal, with custom solid gold hanger. This hanger is wonderfully engraved with, "William Durst", "United States Navy, First Monitor", "First Class Fireman", "Hampton Roads, March 9TH, 1862.". The planchet is rim numbered "646". The original research was done in the 1990s and is quite extensive, including testimony of his service, desertion after service with the Monitor and re-enlistment under an alias and further service until the War's end. He was crewman #29 on the USS Monitor as a Coal Hauler and was on board during the famous combat with the Merrimac and further service. He was a participant in what is certainly one of the most famous naval engagements in history and what historians call the first modern battle.
 
        He served with the USS Monitor from February 25TH, 1862 until it returned to port for repairs in November 1862. He was ill from constant exposure to smoke and fumes, and when he was supposed to return to his ship was still unwell. Instead of returning he recuperated for another 2 months and re-enlisted under alias, Walter David, and served till the Wars end. By 1912, he was believed to be the last survivor of the crew of the Monitor and was not determined that he was not until his death in 1916.

Loads of research on this set. He is even shown in the famous crew shot of the Monitor shown in the listing. He is the second seated Sailor, from the left. The medal can be seen in the newspaper photo as an old man. It is to the immediate right of the large circular disc around his neck. Possibly the only opportunity to have an item from the crew of this most famous Naval Ship. $5995
