General Gordon’s Star for the Siege of Khartoum 1884, pewter, very fine, replaced 'Star & Crescent' suspension, silvered and enamel/painted suspension (perhaps for an NCO?)

Mark A. Reid recently published the excellent work General Gordon's Siege Star: a Compendium on this rare award, noting the highly unusual fact that Gordon's Star was actually worn by soldiers engaged in the battles for which it was awarded.
