Hi Mike,
Wish you good luck, not an easy thing to find full stop, a little over 1500 issued, but when you know the one you want! much harder! :(

Hi Frank,

I think you will find that you are about 4000 medals out on your estimate ;)

Hi Adrian,
According to British battles and Medals, there are only 1589 issued with that single clasp.
