P. Murphy, and the same style of script, but very lightly engraved, as
Edward, was used to name the I.G.S. 1895 medal. This light and somewhat scratchy form of script was also employed in a very characteristic manner, to name the Punniar and Maharajpoor stars, and also some of the first Cabul medals, 1842.
The Burma 1885-7 medal is generally engraved in a light running hand; but I have seen several engraved in slightly sloping squat Roman letters, 2/SCOTS FUS: The script kind of naming was used on the 1887-9 and 1889-92 Burma medals, but some of the latter medals were engraved in a neat round hand.
The Naval medals awarded for Burma 1885-7 are mostly named with rather tall thin Roman capitals.
The medals for Jowaki 1877-8 are impressed with Roman capitals after the character of M.G.S. lettering, and the regiments are generally described so, 2/9th Foot.
The Afghan medals for 1878-9-80 were engraved thus,
RENDELL, or in the same style of letter but upright, as were also the Egyptian medals of 1882 onward; but most of those issued to the Royal Marine Light Infantry and seamen who took part in the Suakin Expedition of 1885 were indented like this, HENRY. This kind of type was also used for naming the King Edward Naval Long Service medals. Some, however, were impressed in tall Roman capitals having thick down-strokes.
The engraving on the Egyptian medals awarded to some of the Indian troops, dooley bearers, and Indian transport department is in a very finely cut, neat script.
