Good Morning Gentlemen.....

I guess MYB will have to change the listing in 2015.....

At today's exchange rate bringing it to $9,100.00 and change (Canadian), I think I will sell mine......

This one at DNW is estimated at £3,500-£4,000. We'll see!

QSA, reverse with dates in relief ‘1899 1900’, (4) CC OFS, Belf, SA01 (635 Pte. C. C. Malet, Ld. Strathcona’s H:) inverted apostrophe as normal.

Cuthbert Chamberlain Malet was born at Basford, Nottinghamshire, in 1879, son of John Thomas and Elizabeth Hill Malet. He died at Singapore on 2 July 1944, aged 65, and is commemorated on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission roll of Civilian War Dead.

DNW's stand at the Convention yesterday included a few medals including a single 3 clasp QSA with Natal, Belfast and SA01 (if I recall correctly). Innocuous enough until it was turned over to reveal it had raised dates! I asked if this was the one from last week's auction, only to be told it was another one that had just come in and that it would be auctioned shortly.
