Hammer Price:
£260

India General Service 1908-35, 1 clasp, Malabar 1921-22 (268 Rfmn. Ba Sein, Chin-Kachin Bn.), edge bruising, nearly very fine and scarce £160-180

The Chin-Kachin Battalion was formed in 1918 from the 85th Burma Rifles and comprised of one Chin and three Kachin companies. The unit only existed under that title between 1918-1922, so consequently any campaign medals named to it are scarce.
