TOPIC:

I came across this catalogue from Charles Lusted from December 1972 and wondered if it brought back happy memories for others as it did for me?

How about this page?

Some of these old catalogues make you cry....

Have one from 1938 and some from 1954......

Hi
In the 1980's I often bought items from Lusted catalogues. Each catalogue at the time had a starting date : this was a method of giving more than the UK collectors a chance. Remember : this was before the Internet and catalogues came by mail.
My most memorable Lusted catalogue was the one dated 22 Nov 1984 and especially Item G9




Very early that morning I phoned and I almost fell off my chair when Charles confirmed that the Saxty pair was mine. As consolation, in case I did not get Saxty, I marked G22: needless to say there was no money left to add the Sannas Post pair to the bag.








I am well aware the medals are off-topic, but at least the Lusted connection is there!

I had a large number inherited from a deceased friend. The days of collecting regiments rather than recipients.

Good Morning Henk......

Then you look at the price asked for a Defenders medal that was put on the market last week.....
