TROOPER A. QUINN, A DIVISION, SOUTH AFRICAN CONSTABULARY. Queen’s South Africa Medal, type 3, 5 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902, officially impressed (472 Trooper, South African Constabulary). Attractively toned, Good Very Fine to Almost Extremely Fine, with a length of original ribbon.

Trooper Quinn was severely wounded at Leeuwfontein, 29/4/1902.

With photocopied extract from medal roll, confirming clasps and that Quinn served with A Division of the South African Constabulary, and that he was eventually discharged on 16/12/1902.

Medal also accompanied by pre 1902 pattern Queen’s crown bronzed white metal South African Constabulary cap badge, which has been converted to use as a miniature photograph frame, by having the central device from the circlet (the springbok’s head) removed, and a wooden backing plate affixed at rear to the two lugs. This now houses a portrait photograph of the recipient in uniform, but much faded and just barely discernible (I am told by a photographic studio that this photograph is restorable to bring back the original image)
