Good Afternoon Everyone.......

Am working on a project for myself and was wondering if anyone possibly has any information that they would be willing to share with regards to the following Town Guard Medals.......

I am wondering if any member has any of the following Town Guards in their collections, and “No I am not going to try and talk you out of them,” I just want to know if there are any in existence........

I would also like to know if any have been sold and for what, I have checked my sources back as far as 2009 so about 15 years and not been able to find any that have been sold......

Answers will be kept in confidence and if you would like to reply via PM or Email that would be appreciated......


Thank You in Advance.....

Mike

Hi Mike

I have the following comments:
De Aar TG : never seen one
East London TG: I don’t think it exists ?
Ladybrand TG: I have R Huggup
Nkandhla TG: I don’t think it exists ?
Pearston TG: I have Pvt G Montague
Piquetberg Road TG: Don’t have
Piquetberg TG: Don’t have
Prince Albert Road TG: I have Pvt J Snyders
Springbokfontein TG: Seen 2
Sutherland TG: never seen one
Upington TG: never seen one

I have 106 so far, if the 119 I think are possible?
Kind regards
Adrian

Thanks Adrian.....

Some of those with very low numbers I was wondering if they existed......

Mike

I have the Ladybrand TG one to my namesake - R Reynolds - purportedly only 8 awarded to them.
East London had a DMT but no TG as far as I am aware.

106 out of 119. I am impressed Adrian.......

I have 64 Guards and 80 medals, Two to Brothers in Barberton and the most to one Guard, Klerksdorp is Four (2 Officers and 2 Privates)...... One of my most interesting ones is he served in Dordrecht TG, Steyterville D.M.T. and Western Province Mounted Rifles......

I have to re-evaluate my collection for insurance purposes and was looking for estimated prices for all that I have, and I figured that I would continue on and get estimated prices for the entire list if I could......

Thanks Rory and Adrian.....

De Aar TG : never seen one. 4 believed awarded
East London TG: I don’t think it exists ? No roll for TG. DMT only
Ladybrand TG: I have R Huggup 8 believed awarded

Pearston TG: I have Pvt G Montague 8 believed awarded
Piquetberg Road TG: Don’t have 12 believed awarded
