Ed_Haynes Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Johnson Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
