It is still regarded as the largest Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift collection ever held anywhere in the world.

I viewed this collection with my father in approx. 1988 - 89; it was a once in lifetime experience. I only wish I thought to take some pictures.
This collection was raised in the early and mid 70’s and dissolved in the early 90’s.

| Thanks for the quick response, if it is Commisariat and Transport Department what would it be worth if the medal was in reasonable condition?

| hi joe. In answer to your question between 520- 550 pd if it has the 1879 clasp , about 440 - 480 without a clasp . In other words those medals entitled to clasps are more valuable than those without . cheers 90th
ps. I dont have a copy of the 2009 or 2010 medal year book but in the 2008 book the valuations are
1879 clasp Naval medal 550- 650 , unclasped 280- 300. 1879 clasp Army medal 450- 500 , unclasped 280-300 1879 clasp Colonial medal 350-380 , unclasped 220 - 250.
They would be certainly worth more today . |

| hi joe . I may have over estimated the value of the unclasped medals , take off 100 pds on all the unclasped medals which I did initially value at 440- 480 pds. So now somewhere in the region of 340 - 380. Hope this makes sense . cheers 90th. |
