A rare Second War Burma Gallantry Medal awarded to Rifleman Saw Thein Maung, Burma Rifles

Burma Gallantry Medal, G.VI.R. (50056 Rfn. Saw Thein Maung 2 Burma Rifles) in Royal Mint case of issue, nearly extremely fine, case slightly distressed, rare £2000-3000

As yet award not traced in the London Gazette, the medal, however, appears entirely as issued.
