Hi All,
Sorry to rehash an old thread, but thought I would also post my SAC items here.
My great-grandfather removed the lugs from the back of his badge for gallantry so that he could mount it in-line with the rest of his medals. I also included his Transvaal prison badge for his time when he stayed on after the Boer War.
The SAC badges are just ones that I have come across online (no idea whether real or fake, but for the purpose of my display it doesn't phase me).
It took 5 years of searching, and 5 years of unsuccessfully trying to purchase the medals from a private collector, but I was fortunate to be reunited with these medals in February 2015.
Unfortunately the green felt/material on the badge has worn away a little bit, but I was very lucky that the bullion patch was still present.
Regards,
Matt
