I must have followed Mike around as I came back with nothing from today. It was nice though to catch up with lots of acquaintences and also to meet Mike for the first time.

Some interesting items on show such a full set of the Times History for £450 and a full set including maps for Maurice's account at a staggering £550.

Oh yes they will be winging it over the pond in 24 hours and now I am going to have to save again for a long time..... LOL

So you did buy them, you said something about them only being photographs, glad you got something anyway, it is still the centre of the world as far as medals go, no other country even comes close!

Did you grab all the South African stuff there, or have I been missing out on a treasure trove all these years?

Ryan,

I believe all the good South African medals were acquired. There was a nice 2 clasp QSA to the FID which I noted on my first circuit. On my second circuit, it has already gone!

There were quite a few TG & DMT medals which I thought was unusual. Prices were much higher for these if the dealer knew there were less than 100 issued.

Congratulations, Mike! I like your choice of medals!

Regards
Brett
