Tarnished is SEXY !

[Chris Boonzaier]

This Sudan medal to an Egyptian Infantryman, bought in the old Bazaar in Cairo... and probably never cleaned....

I love the tarnish, would never clean it.

Nice! The history is intact. Once removed, it'd be gone forever.

And to think some collectors would like this to be all shiny and sparkly!!

Wonderfull medal ,

We have indeed to remember that "It isn't all gold that shines!!"

Kind regards,

I had the ribbon bar for this once in my collection of British medals - I can swear that I never saw the medal itself until today! Sexy indeed...I like 'em "dirty"

Sexy indeed...I like 'em "dirty"

Yes... well... hmmmmmmm... I dunno if Vicky can be considered "Dirty"... but I have heard she was a "Goer"... nudge, nudge....wink, wink....

For my money, the Queen's Sudan is well up there on the list of most aesthetically pleasing medals. My first was in a group to the Royal Irish Fusiliers 30 years ago, and I've also had groups to the 1st Bombay Lancers and 35th Sikhs (that one had a Malakand IGS 1895 as well). All gone now
