Ed_Haynes Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 While work is still actively underway on refurbishing and redisplaying their medal collection, I have attached some preliminary snaps of the medal collection held in the United Service Institutution (India) in New Delhi. Most are mint specimens from just before WWI, though some are named.Things are (mostly) ribboned, short descriptive notes have been added to most cases, and the lighting system has been revised (no more overhead natural ribbon-fading light, but now florescent tubes that reflect badly in horizontal glass -- better, but not perfect).The pictures are not the greatest, sorry.

Tony Farrell Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Crikey! Is that a Capture of Rodriguez in the bottom left of the first pic? Whatever, they need some loving care & attention - and a decent display case that doesn't drown them. Edited June 11, 2006 by Tony Farrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I'd like to see the series of all IGS Medals with all bars up. The 1854 (23 clasps) would be about a foot long - and that's not counting the medal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you possibly show a close up of the Khedives Sudan with all the clasps? thanks Shall try to oblige. Have an old scan, from the time I first catalogued them, somewhere. But a new scan will be much prettier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) Love that IGS 1854 Bronze! I used to have a number of Indian bronzes, including the Sudan, but unfortunately I sold/traded them as my tastes changed and marriage/children diminished my disposable income.
