1882 Egypt medal with two clasps: THE NILE 1884-85, TEL-EL-KEBIR. Dated reverse variety. Silver, 36 mm. MY-131 (clasps iv, ix), BBM-87. Edge mount with straight bar swivel suspension. Extremely Fine.
C. MANSFIELD, A.B. H.M.S. "ORION." engraved on the edge. Attractively toned with deep gold, bright green, and pale lilac on nicely preserved and lustrous surfaces. An unusually pretty specimen.

Charles Mansfield appears on the medal rolls of the Orion and the rolls of the Nile Flotilla. Only 41 men from the Orion joined the night march to the assault on Tel-el-Kebir on September 13, 1882.

Accompanied by a Khedive's Star. Offered with a ribbon of uncertain age, but likely original.
