Description
Afghanistan Medal 1878-80, - four clasps - Peiwar.Kotal, Charasia, Kabul, Kandahar. 1441 Private A.Goldwyre, 72nd Highlanders. Engraved. Contact marks, otherwise good fine.
The naming appears to be correct but it is possibly renamed because there was an identical medal along with a Kabul to Khandahar Star, with letter of verification, described in the 'Catalogue of a valuable collection of naval & military medals, orders and decorations, the property of Capt. A.W.Buckingham' sold at auction conducted by Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge on 28 -29 June 1904. Perhaps this is that medal?
