On the other hand, because of its exceeding rarity as well as the gallant conditions under which it was earned, the M.G.S. medal with bar for "Benevente" has realised £34. Bars issued with the Army of India medal for "Ava" and "Bhurtpoor" are the most frequently met with, but these realise high prices at auction. At the Gaskell sale a medal with single bar for "Defence of Delhi" sold for £20, a single bar for "Corygaum" £35 (but one of these bars has realised as much as £100), two bars for "Assaye" and "Argaum" £33. Three bars for "Allighur," "Argaum," and "Gawilghur" realised £40, and £60 was paid for one with bars for "Allighur," "Battle of Delhi," and "Laswarree." The "Mutiny" medal has realised as much as £38, the price for which a four-bar medal from the Gaskell Collection sold at auction; but three-bar medals sell at auction for from £2 2_s._ to £3 3_s._, and single bars for "Defence of Lucknow" for as little as £1 16_s._; but at the present time there is an inclination to pay more for Mutiny medals, and the conditions under which they were earned warrant it. In the later Indian wars the bar issued for the North-East Frontier 1891, owing to the great interest taken in the Manipur Expedition, realised from £3 to £4, but this bar, which is attached to the I.G.S. 1854 Medal, sells for about a quarter of that sum now. The Waterloo medal, to one of the 42nd (Black Watch), has sold at auction for as much as £15, and £20 has been paid for one awarded to the 27th Regiment (Inniskillings); but a poor specimen has found a purchaser at as low as £1 10_s._ Great care should be taken to examine the bars and ensure that they have not been tampered with. No medal that has been re-engraved is worth taking into consideration, unless it is one with rare bars which show no signs of faking. Medals with genuine bars, even though the name has been erased from the edge of the medal, realise good prices, and to complete a collection are very useful when named medals fetch very high prices.
