That has to be just about the worst copy I have ever seen, although, the seller is offering it as such, clearly this particular seller missed out on geography at school.

You may want to add this rare Boer War "relief" bar to your spares box just in case:

...or not ! :)

Thanks Meurig........

I will see if I can get two so that you can have one...... Oh yes I also had a spare QSA that must have been made by the same maker and crudely name to a member of the as explained to me K.O.D. (King's Own Dragoons)....... I actually thought the unit may actually be King's Own Drunks for the man who made it...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi David.......

Would still be willing to pay double the value originally shown and maybe a little more but not much more......

Thanks

I think I should perhaps add that I can certainly see where you are coming from there, it would certainly be a most favourable swap, a Defence of Mafeking would be worth around ten times the price of a Diamond Hill these days, I do find it really quite hard to understand, why exactly, even, in the twenty first century there are still provincial jewellers here that scrap both clasps and medals for their silver value.

I'm looking for a Defence of Mafeking and a Rhodesia Mike if you have any spare.

I can swap you a Diamond Hill and a Belfast

Regards

Rory

It is all about price, these are very common clasps, but, sadly, there seem to be more wrong ones around than original at this point in time, moreover, no one wants to get shafted, in particular, by the complete and utter numpty on ebay that has now added "silver" clasps to his list of rubbish that he peddles, he charges much the same as you would expect to pay for original date clasps.
