British Medals from the Collection of James Spencer Henry Arthur Colmore-Dunn, 1896, a silver award medal, unsigned, bust left, rev. legend within wreath, edge named (John Blackburn from Hugh Pollock, March 1898), 76mm. Very fine but edge knocked £100-150 Footnote Henry Arthur Colmore-Dunn (1859-96), barrister and first husband of the suffragette Gertrude Renton, was a member of the London Fencing Club and the author of a number of standard works on the sport. On the medal he is depicted wearing his high collared fencing jacket. He was, however, an all-round sportsman, an exhibitioner at New College, Oxford, where he stroked the college eight and, in 1880, performed in Frank [Sir Francis Robert] Benson’s production of Agamemnon in Greek, playing Ægisthus in this first production of Æschylus for 2000 years. The medal is unsigned but in previous listings Sir George Frampton has been suggested as the medallist
