Provenance: Christie’s, November 1990.
Approximately 21 Central Africa medals with Clasp issued to the Royal Navy, although it seems likely that the 13 European officers received unnamed medals leaving potentially only 8 officially impressed medals issued to the African Serangs and Able Seamen. Sold with full medal roll details.
