SAMedals Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Hi all,Perhaps someone can help here?I have been asked if the China Medal with a 'Taku Forts' clasp was ever awarded in bronze and what the average price would be? (if there is a brass type) Also if the medal was ever struck in bronze?I have only known them to be in silver.Regards, Gary.Silver version Another version Edited September 30, 2008 by SAMedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 So far as I know, this clasp came only in silver. What is the naming? If legitimate, this would be VERY interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I see no indications that are good.And, by the way, I am moving this to the British section where responses might be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCMH Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 YES, the China 1900 medal was awarded in Bronze to REGIMENTAL FOLLOWERS in the Indian Army, and no, CLASPs were not awarded for the BRONZE version.What is the naming on the Bronze Medal, one was sold at DNW late last week.They are not rare, however due to the hard life they had they are usually battered, and should you see one in a pair expect to pay a premium.

MCMH Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I had meant to say "BRONZE version apart from RoP." I got distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to consider it a "senior moment". Happens to us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
