Thank you for posting the prices realised at the Lockdales sale. I do not follow British medal sales, so I am a poor judge of results, but I was very surprised by what to me were low prices paid for the single clasp Belmont, Modder River and Relief of Ladysmith QSA's, and the very high price paid for the Rhodesia one.
I realise it is all down to who was bidding on the day. I am sorry that I was not there to bid on the RoL medal!

Regards
Brett
