Hello Paul,

Any idea who was buying the Truibute medals - in the room/internet/phone, same person or different individuals?

There was a Defence of O'okiep QSA pair at DNW (lot 708)- £2600 (est. £1400-£1800). I think these prices must be a "bubble", leastways I hope so.

Paul....

I checked my records and I bought a single O'okiep in 1998, true 13 years ago and it was $375.00 Canadian.....

My Montgomery in 1988 for $30.00 Cdn, and my Melton Mowbray in 1975 for $60.00 US....

Hi Meurig,

There were two very determined phone bidders, but no idea who they were, + one room bidder apart from me who had as little luck as I did. I think the majority were bought by the same phone bidder. It wasn't NC because I asked him.

If you hear more, please let me know. I have just moved my pathetic collection into the safe!

Good Evening Paul....

There are still a few bargains out there..... Just rec'd in the mail a Blackpool Medal today, Hibbard A5 with a Rarity of R3..... One minor problem the enamel crest in the center is missing but I am sure that it can be repaired with a charm bracelet crest.... Total cost 35 Euro's....

Paul,

That's a good suggestion to add the pictures to the site and I will do that.

Best wishes
David

The images of the tribute medals have now been added to the site.
