It is certainly a lovely thing to own.

Hugh did add a couple of items to the original frame (2 No. sets of 21st Lancers), but I have left it untouched. I hope the explanation of attribution is helpful.
Many thanks for the kind comments - and yes - the price was very high but it is a piece of history having started Hugh King off collecting seriously.
