From what I saw of some of the TG & DMT prices today there seemed to be a correlation between hammer price and #issued, would be interesting to see a graph of that.

What stood out was the lack of interest in the KSA to the Bushmanland Borderers, 17 issued, although the medal was "polished", a steal at £50.

I was pleased to get the Zeerust TG to E Sephton - a rare TG casualty. The cataloguer's note about two "E Sephton"s on the roll, senior & junior, I was hoping would put people off as I think I have solved the obvious question, "Is this the QSA to the casualty?".

Research to start, especially the circumstances of his death.

Certainly a nice addition to your KSA collection.

I looked at Sephon too and will be interested to read the research.

Sorry to mis-lead, I didn't get the KSA, had to dash off and didn't leave a bid. Doh! Anyway Sephton is turning into a real gem!

Based on yesterday's data, there is an exponential relationship between cost and number of medals issued to the unit.

The premium for officers' medals stands out in the data.

The plot excludes units where the issue exceeded 500.
