South Africa Medal and 1877-8-9 Bar with India General Service Medal and Burma 1887-1889 Bar (1492 Pte G Adams, 2/24th Foot and 2nd Battalion, S Wales Borderers)

Looks like a nice pair of medals SAGS confirmed on roll.

Service papers are available - which show 21 years of service and a very "colourfull" medical and disciplinary record. An old school soldier.

The IGS is not detailed on his service papers - although his service records show he was in Burma during the campaign period.

I suspect this lot will go for significantly more than the estimate - say £800-900 if the IGS medal is confirmed on the roll.
