Doug,

That is indeed a nice find. I am sure many such treasures go unnoticed for want of research into what normally would seem the most common of clasps.

Thank you for showing the Le Poer Power group. I think it has changed hands more than once in recent years. I know it is fashionable and it looks good, but I do not approve of court mounting such groups.

Regards
Brett

Brett,

It has been for sale a few time and each time it comes up I have a quick check of my bank balance!

I am not keen on the mounting which takes the ribbon to the bottom or below the medal. This group either needed to be overlapped or separated to make them look a lot better.

Best wishes
David

Hi
This is the first time I have seen the Le Poer Power group since 1999 when it formed part of my swop transaction with Colin Owen to get the DTD/ABO groups to Genl Piet Cronje and his son, Comdt Piet Cronje.
Colin fanatically believed in court mounting all medal groups.
