Hi Ciroferrara
All I can say is good luck with collecting them , there are many AZW Enthusiasts who do collect these AZW cdv's they are never cheap , you may find one with luck for under 40 GBP's ..... only if the seller isn't aware of what he has ! , depending on the identity of the individual pictured this will determine it's price. Ebay is the only place that I'm aware where you may find them , but you'll need to trawl through 100's of pics in an attempt to find one , there is NO SITE dedicated to AZW cdv's etc etc , will take many hours of searching , and then you'll have to hope that no others like myself and the many other collectors have found them as well , then you may find yourself in a bidding war and you can then expect to pay up to 200 GBP's if not more , depending on the individuals identity .

Hi 90th
I had a feeling that would be the case

Depending if everyone on the website agreed. Do you think it would be possible for there to be a page on here for members to post the photos from their personal collections as a resource for everyone to view?

Ciroferrara,

A few of us already do that.

Except for Gary (90th) who hasn’t figured out how to post images.

Gary,

Getting there, just very lethargic at present.

Ciroferrara,

One of the easiest people to start collecting is the Prince Imperial, there is a good range of price from entry level at around £5 up to over £100 plus.

Herbert Stewart and Garnet Wolseley turn up quite often on EBay, but you have to be careful of imitations.

JY

Thank you for the help
I've been doing some searching and the pickings are quite slim.

Hi Ciro
As JY has mentioned you'll have no trouble finding the P.I. or Wolseley , you'll even find Benjamin Disraeli who was the British PM at the time on ebay.... all varying in price , I know Lt Rundle was recently on ebay may still be there , he was about 45GBP's , taken later in life when he was a Lt- Gen ? . The problem being 70- 80% of the cdv's you're seeking will be unidentified , very difficult if you unsure as to someone's identity , let us know how you get on , I for one will be interested to see how you go . Very Happy

Any advice on what to search on eBay? I will post any pictures that may be of interest in here. As I'm not sure the wife will appreciate me spending too much!
Cheers

Ciroferrara,

I’m going to state the obvious here.

Try cdv Zulu War.

That said don’t fall for everything that says that.

JY

Hi again. I've spent the last few hours scanning ebay and various other sites for Cdvs without much luck. If any forum members have anything they are willing to part with please do message me on here.
Cheers
