Misrepresentation? - the medal is already pricing higher than the norm for a Border Horse QSA - the buyer will feel aggrieved - caveat emptor and all that.

No excuse for not checking the medal roll - as David as shown it is quite clear.

The QSA to Trollip sold yesterday for R2,900 or £177 which reflects that he was not eligible for the Wepener clasp. I contacted the seller yesterday and he was clear that there was no entitlement to the clasp. His short write up did not reflect the certainty over its issue.

I ended up buying this group - has anyone the Brabant's Horse and K.F.S. attestation papers? Duffy served with both.
