It is not often that you see teeth included in an auction listing.

From Noble Numismatics:

QSA (1) Rhodesia (1389 Tpr. G.Johnson. B.S.A.Police);
KSA (2) (1389 Tpr. G.Johnson. B.S.A.Police)

The listing by Noble Numismatics is very unclear:

Queen's South Africa Medal 1899, (type 3 reverse), - two clasps - South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902; King's South Africa Medal 1902, - clasp - Rhodesia. 1389 Tpr. G.Johnson. B.S.A.Police on both medals. First medal impressed, second medal engraved and renamed.

Which medal is renamed?

Mounted in a glass-topped black timber hexagonal display case with a range of other items as listed below, the clasps on the medals are reversed, otherwise good very fine.

Together with British South Africa Police badges (4, two different types); British South Africa Police title removed from badge; BSAP titles (2 plus single letters for B S A P); officer's pip; piece of alluvial gold with quartz attached as found; four teeth (2 small, 2 large) from unknown source.

No clasp listed on the BSAP QSA roll, WO100/238p36



No KSA entry found so this must be the renamed medal?
