Yes, but you bought those in a provincial saleroom here in Great Britain, which tends to support my thoughts on QSA's!

Hello Mike,
Any good collection is built up only after many years, just because a particular collector does not have a particular medal, it certainly does not always indicate that the medal is in anyway rare or even scarce, both the quantity of 19th century made Hampshire cap badges remaining in South Africa in the 1970's and WO100/187 suggests to me that there is no reason whatsoever why you cannot have a medal to the Hampshire Regiment.
