I certainly miss Gary, it is a great shame he made to decision to shut up shop when he did, he is not particularly old and I had thought he would be around in the marketplace for a little longer, he knew his stuff and had lived in South Africa for a number of years, before, very sensibly, given the state of play, returning to pursue his other interests whilst still dealing in medals.

Evening Frank,
A late reply. I am in the possession of the QSA (Tpr C J King, Nottingham Road RA);
Natal 1906 (Cpl C J R King, Natal Carbineers).
I purchased them from Spink auctions a few years back.

A very nice pair of medals, Neil. Thank you for posting the images.
