Hello,
Fascinating and enjoyable reading. Thanks for that. I just wish my wages were near the average weekly wage.

There has definitely been some stabilisation in prices this year not a great difference from 2012 in the article. However, certain regiments such as 13th 90th 17th Lancers do command a premium.

Wounded and KIA prices seem to be on the increase as evidenced by the medal to Pte Harkness 13th Regiment who was slightly wounded at Khambula which sold this month at Boseleys for a Hammer price of £1480 + commission would take you close to £1800.

I know Tasker always felt that this was a bubble - but how do you put a price on holding a piece of history!!.

Cheers

Sergio
