Hello Mike

From the very small pics it looks ok - no indication on the medal roll to indicate a late issue.

I agree that the numbers look a little slanted, especially the 5, but there doesn't look to be any rubbing or obvious attempted erasing, but as Meurig says, the photo is a little small.

Looks like the seller has 100% feedback, whatever that is meant to be!!

Just looking at the medal roll and the name could be Pengelly as the first e which is an e looks the same as the i, which could be an e, sorry to be confusing, but there is also a James Pengelly entitled to an India medal, number 3218 from the 1st Devons, could be a brother?

If it's right, At £495 it's not a bad buy!

By the way, have you seen Lot 91 in the Wellington auction?
