Aberdeen Medals Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Bernhard,Are you aware that the clasps on the medal are all copies? They may be contemporary, but they are certainly not original.The medal has been re-named as the naming on your medal is also not in the convention / format you would expect for a Royal Marines recipient - the abbreviation PL.Dn (for Plymouth Division) was never officially engraved or impressed on Royal Marines medals on the medals issued for the Egypt / Soudan campaigns.As information.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernhard H.Holst Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Only one "A Rose" Plymouth division on the roll, different number no clasps, can we see the naming please....Hello dante.I am unable to photograph the rim inscription. I posted it as I read it.Mark.I am quite a newcomer to British medals. Acquired this ( and others) at a US auction realizing full well the risk of getting a questionable one or an otherwise flawed article. I looked at it as an acceptable sample of an attractive British medal.Thank you for your comment.Bernhard H. Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
