Yes, checking him in a run of Army Lists would seem the easiest solution. And all I have are a few Indian Army Lists. They have not become as expensive as the medals!

Interesting medals, especially interesting in that most are on incorrect (fantasy) ribbons.

I'll need to check other sources more reliable than the notorious MYB. I am at work and these are at home (isn't life that way). Will revert. -
I am, unchacteristically, speechless. Thanks, Rick.

British North Borneo Medal

I suspect this is a more recent copy (= fake) made for the collector's market. This does not have the look of a Spink copy, much less of an original. Is it silver? Does the suspension swivel? A swiveling suspension would, of course, explain the obverse/reverse issue. I have never seen one of the Spink copies, only a very few originals. -
Thanks for your patience.

Thanks, Rick and David, for the running subtitles. It helps to bring life back into these "things". What we do is so much more than "things"! And groups like this remind us of that.
