Reference 'British Battles & Medals' (7th Edition, 2006) it is estimated that only 7 x silver medals & 116 x bronze medals and clasps were originally issued, named to Officers & Other Ranks of the British North Borneo Company local forces. In 1905-1906 bronze medals could be exchanged for silver medals and extant records show that 36 of the original bronze medals were returned in exchange for silver medals that were then issued with impressed naming. Other records held by Spink & Son indicate, that in 1906, another 10 x un-named silver medals were supplied, and a further 12 x un-named medals were supplied in 1909
