The 4th King’s Own regiment returned with a number of battle trophies from the campaign, including what regimental records describe as "an illuminated bible".

According to The King’s Own: The Story of a Royal Regiment Volume II 1814-1914 written in 1939:

The Regiment has in its possession many relics of the Abyssinian campaign including several early Coptic crosses and an illuminated Bible. A glass jug, now in the regimental museum, was presented to the Battalion by Messrs Pellatt & Co., glass manufacturers to the Queen. On the reverse side are nine medallions depicting views of Magdala; it is said to have taken over a year to cut, and was at one time insured for £2,000.

The 4th King’s Own Regiment became the modern day King's Own Royal Border Regiment.

AFROMET has also listed other items of Maqdala plunder at the Lancaster museum.
