| I bought this first day cover off e bay last week.. i have seen it kicking about on there for the last few years, i had looked at it very clearly and i knew exactly what i was buying!. at the end of the day i have a bit of ephemera and that just add's to the pile. my question is.. was this cover officially sanctioned?. it was certainly signed off. so who can spot the howler's..

| On the cover, it says that De Gonville Bromhead won the VC at RD.....and has him in the 1/24th (SWB) but other than that, I dunno..... |

| Hi SRB, Gary... yes the three mistakes leap off the page.. It was just plain Gonville Bromhead and he was in the 2nd 24th.. i guess i'm just being picky but i also did not like to see the SWB badge superimposed on the image of the defence for the obvious reason that they did not exist until two years later. and the thing that stands out for me is the fact that the cover is limited to one hundred, mine being number 49. so that leaves me with the image of the Brigadier signing 100 cover's.. presumably he looked at the finished product, was satisfied and signed them off. like i say maybe i'm just being picky, but surely this misrepresent's the actual history of the events!. i find it very strange. cheers xhosa |

| Dear Members I have just registered today. My farther acquired an Adams III .450 revolver from a Pretorious family in Standerton in 1938. When my father passed I inherited the Adams revolver in 1973 My father advised me that that revolver was originally given to Commandant-General Andries Wilhelmus Jacobus Pretorius by Paul Kruger in +/-1840. I had it specailly framed in special glass and wooden frame and hangs in my bar area. Sadly even as a proud South African I have decided to emigrate early next year and my conscience guided me not to take such a precious piece of Afrikana History from South Africa and am willing to part with this valuable hand gun at a fair market value to some earstwhile collector in South Africa. I look forward to your replies Longbow |
