Good whatever time it is Simon.
I went, I saw, I viewed. Some magnificent pieces to be sold. To see, to touch and feel, They were wonders to behold. On 2 Lots I bid, and Fortune shone, I was the winning man. To place them in my collection. Now that is my plan. Simon, there was some absolutely marvellous stuff there; I was talking to a couple of dealers at the venue who had never seen some of these items ever before; here's a clue, Lots 1 - 3 sold for £4,200.....................................what recession. Merry Christmas Regards brian

Wonderful stuff. It's difficult to imagine getting anywhere near a collection of this quality nowadays. I bid on two items and was totally blown away :-( I was rather hoping for a Christmas gift to myself. Well done Brian!
Christmas wishes to everyone! Neil

I didnt know Ron Handley but sad to see another well known collector pass away. Every now and again I look though his book "The First Londons" a great mixture of insignia, history and personal recollections.
Also sadly John Atherton a well known collector of Royal Marine items from Nottingham passed away a few months ago. John wrote some excellent articles on R.M. insignia for Crown Imperial and was a regular winner at Military Historical Society exhibitions. P.B.

I now have to wonder just what I'm trying to achieve,  my collection pales into insignificance, in fact, by comparrison I have to wonder why I'm collecting in the first place, how proud he must have been !!Dave.
