But the well is quite low right now so will have to give it a pass..... Mike Life Member Past-President Calgary Military Historical Society O.M.R.S. 1591

Hello Mike,
The very best medals, have been, for quite sometime and will continue to be sold at the two major London salerooms, you need to bare in mind that the market is being controled by the awful hedge fund managers and not by collectors, moreover, whilst they may not be buying items that interest you in particular, the domino effect is ever present.
I was lucky enough to be around here at a time when they were not and I always swore by Spink, it was really easy to board a fast train to London and out bid most dealers, very happy days indeed, sadly long gone!
