Two sets of brothers took the ice for Team USA in Austria—David and Herb Brooks, and Roger and Bill Christian. The latter were, of course, the heroes of the epic 1960 Olympics, as Billy scored the game-tying and game-winning goals against the USSR, with an assist from Roger. Bill Christian's bronze participation medal, presented here, hails from the 1964 Innsbruck Games. It measures 2 ½ inches in diameter and displays an EX/MT appearance overall with minor wear. This medal is accompanied by Bill Christian's signed 2016 LOA and is a fine companion piece to his son Dave Christian's 1980 Team USA "Lester Patrick Award" also offered in this auction.
