Medals known to exist ?

Hi Sergio
Yes I saw the groupings at The London Medal Co , agreed they are a tad expensive . There is a complete scarcity of SAGS anywhere , with the exception of Historik Orders in the USA , who are a little expensive in any case . I went past Conference Hill
Cheers

I have done some digging around today and spoken to a few dealers, They told me that one person lifted all their SAGS not sure if it is the same person with each dealer but seems likely.

Hopefully it is someone just starting a collection and not Lord Ashcroft!! If it is someone building a collection hopefully things will return to normal. If anyone else hears anything please let me know

Hi Sergio
The officer grouping from the London Medal co is very interesting , considering the site of the conflict , was not within 200 miles
of Conference Hill !!!! , which they mention being the battle site Shocked

, there was never any action at Conference Hill as far as I'm aware ! . During the AZW of 1879 Salute

Happy to be corrected Very Happy

. It seems to be a new medal collector , who , as you say is probably starting his collection Salute
