Yes, they make similar claims for other TGs.

Sounds like you need to chat with them David to see where they got their info.

LMC have changed the description on this QSA and the price too. Three QSAs sold last year at auction to the Beaufort West TG and all went for two digit hammer prices.

LMC currently have 9 TG QSAs for sale, including the medal, including the medal to Lieutenant C. Scriven, Beaufort West Town Guard.
