| hi 24th. The only clasps available are copies , you can buy them on ebay . You would need to take it to a medal dealer to have the replacement clasp fitted. it seems they are moulded and fastened. cheers 90th. |

| 1879Graves.
Can you think of any reasons why the medal might have been withdrawn. (Was there a reserve in-place) |

| hi all. This is very reasonable , but he didnt cross into zululand that is why there is no clasp.

| Hi Admin There was no reserve in-place, It looks like he withdrew it just before the end as it was only at £18.00 and did not want to sell the medal at that low price. |

| hi 1879graves, I didnt think you could withdraw an item from ebay once people had placed bids, but im not exactly clear on ebay"s policies. It would have been a great bargain for 18 quid. cheers 90th. |

| Hi 90th
As a seller, you can withdraw from selling if your reason is you have mis-listed your item and you inform Ebay. People use this option if they do not get enough money for their goods. Ebay know this is a fault but this is the only way to protect the seller from mis-selling an item and getting into trouble.
:lol!: I was one of those people who had placed a bid on this medal, just in case it went cheap. :lol!: |
