British South Africa Company Medal 1890-97, reverse Rhodesia 1896 (3171 Pte. P. Gibbons, 2/Rif. Bde.), suspension claw refixed, edge nicks, very fine £250-300

One of just 31 such awards to the 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade. The recipient would appear to have settled in Rhodesia, for the published roll states that he was subsequently awarded the ‘Mashonaland 1897’ clasp for services as a Trooper.
