Silver Pentathlon 1904 Columbia University Medal

This gilt plus silver 1904 “Missouri University—Columbia” medal measures approximately 1.25″ in diameter and 1.5″ long from the top of the bar to bottom of medal. The hanging bar is engraved, “Pentathlon,” with the medal marked “Sterling,” on the reverse and engraved, “James E. Landon 2318 points.” This scarce medal would have been Landon’s 1904 predecessor to medals he would win in the 1904 Summer Olympics. A highly regarded athlete, Landon competed in AAU and collegiate Olympic events, medaling in both the hammer throw and discuss. Condition is extra fine plus. A scarce 1904 format indeed.
