1882 Egypt medal with five clasps: TEL-EL-KEBIR, SUAKIN 1884, EL-TEB, THE NILE 1884-85, ABU KLEA. Dated reverse variety. Silver, 36 mm. MY-131 (clasps iv, v, viii, x), BBM-87. Edge mount with straight bar swivel suspension. Extremely Fine.

2026 . Pte. F. FLOYD. 19th HUSSARS. engraved on the edge. Chiefly brilliant with scattered marks and light polish. Hints of golden toning are noted in a few areas. Good general visual appeal.

Unlike the camel-mounted troops typically associated with this campaign, the 19th Hussars were a cavalry unit that took their horses into the Sudan. Private F. Floyd appears on the Sudan medal rolls for the clasps offered here, one of 135 men of the 19th Hussars to receive the Abu Klea clasp.

This medal is accompanied by Floyd's Khedive's Star. Offered with a ribbon of uncertain age, but likely original.

Estimate: $1,000 - $2,000.
