Imperial British East Africa Company Medal 1888-95 (Captain F. J. D. Lugard, Norfolk Regt.) named in reverse field, good very fine and very rare £2000-2500

Ex D.N.W. 20 September 2002.

Lugard’s D.S.O. group of medals is held by the National Army Museum, Chelsea. It is accompanied by another I.B.E.A. Company Medal which is named both on the edge (Captain F. D. Lugard, D.S.O., Norfolk Regiment), and in the reverse field (Uganda 1890. 1891. 1892.). Another single medal, similarly named is also known. As these medals were purchased privately by those entitled, it is quite possible that Lugard bought more than one example.
