Imperial British East Africa Company Medal 1888-95 (Captain F. J. D. Lugard, Norfolk Regt.) named in reverse field, good very fine and very rare £1000-1200

Lugard’s D.S.O. group of medals is held by the National Army Museum, Chelsea. It is accompanied by another I.B.E.A. Company Medal which is named both on the edge (Captain F. D. Lugard, D.S.O., Norfolk Regiment), and in the reverse field (Uganda 1890. 1891. 1892.). As these medals were purchased privately by those entitled, it is quite possible that Lugard bought two of them.
