Orders, Decorations and Medals

China 1857-60, 1 clasp, Taku Forts 1860, with reverse dated 1842 (John Dempsey, 2nd Bn. 60th Regt.) edge bruising, otherwise nearly very fine and rare £150-200

Medal and clasp verified on roll. This is an unusual and possibly unique instance of the Second China War Medal being issued with the 1842 reverse in error.
