Just converting that: GBP £1,900, AUD 3,400 or Can$ 3,200. There's certainly not many of those around.

Did anyone attend? Any idea what P196 the group to Mitchell went for? I had a crack but I don't think I tried hard enough. I think the SAGS/Natal/LS is a rare combination.

Hi Ryan

The group to Mitchell sold for A bid of R37000.

I was way off! Thanks for letting me know.

That makes two of us Ryan! A very handsome price but then the medals were rather special.

The third medal auction to be taking place on 19 June (the others being Warwick and Warwick and Bonhams).

The following 7 TG QSAs are all ex DNW last month.

Interestingly, the reserve is often lower than the sale price, occasionally by quite a margin. For example, 21 Pte. D. J. Oosthuizen. Victoria West T.G. sold for (including commission) £210.80. The reserve is R2000 or £106 (ex commission).
