Unusual medal combinations that include a QSA 11 years 4 months ago #12477

Brett Hendey Offline Senior Member Posts: 2932 Thank you received: 749	Munroe That is indeed a most unusual and desirable medal group. I think it can be safely classed as "unique". Thank you for showing it. I have a South African Mercantile Marine pair in my collection but, sadly, it does not belong with any of the numerous QSA's in the same collection! Regards Brett

I am new to posting on this forum, so if giving these details on open forum is a breech of forum rules or etiquette, I apologise. Wombat. James.

Hello James,
I echo Brett's welcome and suggest that you edit your post to either quote, using the "quote" button or at least make reference to both the forum member who has the medals that you require information on and the recipient of the medals.
Again welcome, regards Frank
