sabrigade Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This medal was "found" by a friend in Khartoum. Can anyone identify it, I do not have any references here with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Nice one Will! Abbas Hilmi Bravery medal instituted 1913. Plain pale blue ribbon. Yours is the second full size one I have ever seen and I bet yours was cheaper than mine! I attach images of a miniature M&E sold some time ago.

sabrigade Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks Owain, Now the bargaining will start! Regards, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Will, As advised a very scarce piece. On looking at my records the last one I have seen publically sold was in the Spink Numismatic Cirular in November 1992 for GBP200. Instituted by the Khedive Abbas Hilmi in May 1913 but with his deposition on 19 December 1914 it became obsolete. It was, I believe, replaced by the gold and silver Medals for Bravery of the Order of Mohammed Ali instituted on 4 April 1915 by Sultan Hussein Kamel. These are also incredibly scarce - I have only ever seen one for sale. Kind regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrigade Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks Owain, I concluded the deal yesterday. It included a Khedive's Sudan Medal 1910 silver type 1 and a King's Medal for Service In The Cause Of Freedom. Your advice was greatly appreciated.
