Rhodesia, General Service Medal (R645115 Pte Adam) nearly extremely fine £80-£100

645115 Adam Khulu is listed on the nominal roll for the Selous Scouts, and received Wing No. 0412, confirming that he was a fully badged member of the Regiment. The fact that only his first name is impressed on the medal is not an unusual discrepancy: African soldiers often used more than one name, and sometimes names were changed to protect the soldier’s family from attack and intimidation.

Sold with a ‘Selous Scouts’ cap badge, the reverse marked ‘Reuteler Mfg Silver’, with field repairs to suspension lugs; and copied roll extract.
