Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Pair: Trooper G. H. Smith, Nesbitt’s Horse

Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, South Africa 1901 (1892 Tpr: G. H. Smith. Nesbitt’s Horse); King’s South Africa 1901-02, 1 clasp [sic], South Africa 1902 (Tpr. G. H. Smith. Nesbitt’s H.) retaining rod replaced on KSA, nearly very fine and better (2) £140-£180

Note: The Queen’s South Africa medal appears entirely as issued; presumably Smith was discharged from Nesbitt’s Horse sometime in 1901, and completed the qualification period for the King’s South Africa medal (which would have been issued with both date clasps) with a different unit, and has himself removed the duplicated date clasp from the wrong medal.
