I think the OMSA ribbon bank may have some, but not (I fear) for this class.

I have a 1st Class, 1st Type Garrard cased set - the order is in silver only - I supect the gilded issue illustrated is a 2nd type by Spink. The inscription reads "Al Nilain" (the Two Niles) - similar to Bahrain (Two Seas)

Hi Paul,

I am currently in a very wet region of Southern Sudan. Whe I return to Khartoum I will see if we can locate another example.Currently I only have the one item.

The Spink auction last Thursday had a 2nd class DRS issue by Spink - went for GBP480 - see lot 695 for pictures.
