Got the one I wanted! Post coming up about it as soon as it arrives - in time for Christmas I hope ..... a non-descript QSA but a great story not shared in the catalogue.

Jon,

That sounds great. Look forward to hearing about that.

Best wishes
David

Jim,

Were you successful in the end?

Still waiting for the invoice.
My fingers are hovering over the key board in preparation for the bank transfer.

I received the invoice late yesterday and paid this morning.
Only missed 1 x lot, the ABO to RE Benson, lot 27.
I only bid on one QSA, the group to Demmer, Steinaecker’s Horse.
Most of the other bids were for Rhodesian GSM’s. I have always been keen on these medals as the conflict was from my era for want of a better phrase.
The ABO to Pratt is a welcome addition to the small collection of ABO’s to English surnames. How these fellows were not shot as traitors when captured is a mystery to me.
The last of the auctions for the year, I hope.

Cheers,

Jim

I wonder if Pratt was related to the chap that tried to assasinate H F Verwoerd ? Might be worth chasing up .
