London Irish Cord Boss
Did anyone bid on the London Irish Cord Boss that ended today on ebay UK? Does £112 seem a bit over the top for this? Maybe it's the going value for this, I don't know. Opinions?

Hello mgc,
Bosleys had an example of this badge for sale in their Postal Auction of 18/5/05 ( lot 191 ) Guide price was £40-£60. I dont know what it sold for, but £112 does seem on the high side. There again ,anything is worth what a purchaser is prepared to pay for it. P.B. |

There's a Queen Victoria's Rifles cord boss ending in 2 days. It's at £15 now. We'll see how that goes.

Just had a look, another nice item, I suspect the final price will be considerably more than £15.
Have we come across one type of badge that has not been reproduced ? P.B. |

Premiums for some regiments
The price achieved for the QVR boss badge seems very reasonable, I think there is no doubt that in the case of some regiments ( and this seems to apply to all Irish regiments ) items sell for considerably more than similar items for other regiments.
This also seems to apply to anything with a Liverpool connection ( unfortunatly for us Liverpool collectors ) I would think this is due to both scarcity and to the number of collectors to a particular regiment. The positive side is that the value of collections are maintained but in the long term as the number of collectors declines for whatever reasons I wonder what will happen to values ? Since most of us collect because of the personal interest,rather than as an investment,it does not really matter,but it provokes some interesting thoughts. P.B. |

I checked out the price the badge sold for and I can confirm that it was £113-00 hammer.So that £112 on e-bay was not to bad providing it was genuine. Bantam |
