The clasps on the 25 bar unnamed QSA via Spink look original to me. As a matter of interest, I dug out my 26'er and they look identical.

Thank you to all the contributors on the current and previous threads.
Fascinating to read all the views and facts on this/these collections and the stories behind them.
What is the maximum number of clasps awarded to any service personnel and how many achieved this service ?

Clive, As I recall the maximum number of clasps awarded was 10. Unfortunately, I am not near my references, but suffice to say they are few and far between. I have perhaps seen two over many years....

Maximum is 9. There is an example of a 10 clasper in the museum in JHB but it’s meant to have some clasps on a KSA instead.

Just going back to IL's comment on the veracity of these clasps, I would agree that they look genuine from the picture.

Here is a nice example of a 9 clasp medal: www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...-damant-s-horse#9000
