1882 Reverse, (James Holdaway Ward Room Officer's Servant on board Hm's Euphrates). Naming is engraved in running script, neatly and smartly re-named, inverted, with a pawn-broker's mark to the left of the Sphinx's head on the reverse. Edge nicks, contact marks, replacement ribbon, very fine.
Footnote: This medal has been most elaborately re-named, presumably by Holdaway's master, and then presented to him as a token of appreciation. However, perhaps Holdaway did not fully appreciate this gift, for it also shows signs of having been pawned.
