Hi Adrian, As a new collector of ABO's, do you know where I can get hold of the medal roll please?

Regards
Ian

I must say that the absence of papers automatically devalues the grooup in my eyes.

Oh well - on to the next item in the CC list....

Hello Ian,

Are you after the roll for the ABO medal or are you refering to the CGHGSM/QSA rolls for the group we are discusssing?

Rory, I must agree, attestation papers are always a great addition to any medal.

Adrian

Hi Adrian, Thanks for coming back so quickly.

I'm after a copy of the roll for the ABO medal - photo copy, anything please.

I have papers for all my medals but I'm looking for the roll for future purchases.

Kind regards,Ian

Hello again Ian,

The roll for the ABO,DTD and LVW is rather large and is many A4 pages in size. Let me know who you are after and I will send you the page etc.

Regards
Adrian

Ian,

The ABO rolls do come up for sale from time to time. DNW, Kaplan and City Coins have sold them in the past.

The publisher was Roberts Publications Ltd (1976) and the roll is actually called:

Die medaljerol
Dekoratie voor trouwe dienst. Anglo-Boeroorlog
De Zuidafrikaanse Republiek en Oranje Vrijstaat oorlogsmedalje
Lint voor Verwonding opgedaan gedurende de Anglo-Boeroolog.
The medal roll
