South Africa 1834-53 (F. Meades, Cape Md. Riflemen) with claw but lacking suspension, considerably knocked and worn, therefore good fine but very rare £200-300

Francis Meades is listed as a recipient of Sir Harry Smith’s Medal for Gallantry and a renamed example is noted as having been seen named to him. According to Everson’s roll a South Africa 1834-53 medal named to this man is held by a museum.
