Seems a little expensive to me , but I'm not really sure what a couple of them are worth on the market . The SAGS medal didnt have an 1880-81 clasp .
90th.

Hi there,
Would the unit he was with award the unofficial clasp? Or was it authorised by the local bigwigs? A nice combination of medals all the same.

Clasp was totally unofficial, probably made up by a tailor. You see them from time to time or medals. Guess the recipients felt a bit hard done by not getting clasps for the 1st Boer War or Basutoland/Transkei. I think they are a nice addition to medals. SA 1877-9 in this group looks partially reengraved.

There is a clasp' Ulundi' that one sees on 17th Lancers medals from time to time (although not seen one for years!), now bet a certain someone would like one of those! Wink
