Queens South Africa Medal

Agreed Geoff,
its a variance on all auctions of Militaria as you know, its what people are willing to pay for them.
Sadly that medal was as common as the UK NI GSM issued at the time so there are lots of the QSAM medals about.

As I said to Laurence what makes them more keenly fought over and valuable, is the provenance if there was any.

You beat me to it regarding "common" although a lot were pawned being Silver, the other thing with SA campaigns are the amount of different Regiments that went out there, Everyman and his cat and dog were there at some point.

I'll get back to see what the one on ebay goes for.

Roy, Didn't know there was such a level in the Horse Police. He must have been the Superintendents personal tea maker at that level then lol
