Medals are in reasonably good condition consistent with age and storage and being mounted in a frame. The watercolour is suffering from some damp mould damage. The clasps to the QSA are thought to be Tailors copies and the ring to the DSO has probably been altered. Also doubts have been expressed as to the authenticity of the DSO and prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the originality of this medal prior to bidding. It is also thought that the QSA and KSA are renamed medals.
