Hi Sergio. Agreed , this seller does have a record of selling these Medals at way over the price but people do seem to buy them . I've had some discussion with this seller in the past , lets say I'm not impressed with their knowledge of the zulu war , and not keen on their summary either, it's the same summary with just the battle's name changed if need be ! . Stating that this chap fought at Gingindlovhu , I'd like to know how they know that ?? . It's guesswork at best isnt it ? . I remember they had a Medal to a chap from the 2 / 4th Regt their summary stating that the Regt fought in some of the most ferocious battles of the war , I told them the 2 / 4th werent involved in any of the battles !! . Their reply was '' Did they see any action at all ''. I answered their question , and they never changed their sales pitch and someone did actually buy it !!!!!! . Medals to the 57th can be a little hard to find , but they arent what you'd call rare , Medals to the 80th & 58th are rare , arent they Sergio ? .and to finish it is overpriced . Cheers 90th.
