Hammer Price:
£270

Egypt and Sudan 1882-89, 2 clasps, Suakin 1885, Tofrek (1060 Pte. H. Smith, 1/Rl. Berks. R.) pitting from star, otherwise nearly very fine £300-350

Undated medals with these clasps to the Berkshires are considerably scarcer than dated medals. The regiment assumed the ‘Royal’ prefix in recognition of their gallantry at Tofrek.
