Served: Gatsrand. Awarded the DTD (Dekoratie voor Trouwe Dienst).

This chaps ABO is now in my collection.

Does anyone know how many medals were issued to this rank?

An analysis of 13,750 (mostly complete) ABO records lists these numbers of medals issued where the rank includes Lieutenant

Lt 150
Lt and Adjutant 3
Lt Adjutant 44
Lt Sekretaris 1

Thanks David - so my medal constitutes 33% of the market! In a semi-satisfying twist of fate, I learned that Grey's DTD was sold on BidorBuy in February 2018 and is now firmly ensconced in a collection in Devon. The current custodian and myself have been in communication with each other but, with neither party willing to budge at this stage, we have reached a stalemate.

It is good to know that the DTD is extant and in safe hands though - I append a photo or two of the medal as it was sent to me.
