I need to check the authenticity of a medal before buying it, from my research the RWF are only entitled to The IGS 1854 bar Burma 1887-89 and Hazara 1891

The following is a medal I am interested in and am unsure of the entitlement:

India General Service 1854, 2 clasps, Burma 1885-7, Burma 1887-89 (2828 Pte. D. Morgan, 1st Bn. R.W. Fus.)

Can any one help please?

From memory, *I think* I have seen all three bars on various 1854 IGS's to RWF. Although I would need to check over the weekend mate, as unfortunately I don't have the info on this laptop.
