I seem to remember talking about this medal on here, before you actually got it?
You advised me at that point that the rivits appeared to be okay and that left me wondering why it had been issued like that, however, after looking at the photo you have posted, I can see that the medal was not issued with those two date clasps, so I think I too would remove them, moreover, if you did, you would have two spare clasps ready for that annoying moment, that often occurs when you buy a "verfied" medal, only to then discover that such a clasp was issued from the supplementary roll.
Kind regards Frank

Hi Paul,
I just think it would look better, moreover, it would look like what it actually is, a Natal casualty, at the moment, it does look a little odd, that is not a combination one would expect to see to the Devonshire's, but, it really does not matter though, it is a good medal to a very good regt!
Regards Frank

Super photo - Yeomanry given the bandolier and slouch hat? Studio photo from Yorkshire or SA?

Hi Justin,
Thank you, the photo has a Buckingham England stamp.
I agree Yeomanry.
