Chris Boonzaier Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I have a 100% medal spending stop at the moment....But on Ebay there is a QSA to a man invalided out after a serious wound to his left arm at the fighting at Pietershoogte (Hart's hill)...I have a Boer ABO to a boer who was invalided out for a serious wound to his right arm on Pietershoogte...I am almost forced to buy the QSA :-((((((((I guess the QSA is overpriced, so i guess I should not.....

Paul L Murphy Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Chris,Would you prefer to regret something that you did, or something that you didn't do ? Personally I prefer to regret things I do (I hate the idea of regretting nor having done something). Hence, I gave up on the concept of medal budgets a long time ago (along with sobriety, morality, catholic guilt etc). If it was me, I'd buy it.

Battle bars are getting very scarce, especially the early ones. And Spion Kop. Edited October 21, 2006 by Michael Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gregory Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Chris,An anonymous unnamed award will turn up again some time, but this item is unique and begging you to acquire it.Like you, I am also suffering from a self-imposed temporary ban on spending anything on militaria. It hasn't stopped me entirely, but it has slowed me down a little.Go for it, you know it is the right thing to do.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO yes a little on the expensive side BUT...Think of it....a researched medals to a wounded soldier from each side of the conflict.My wife has put me out of the collecting world for now and I have had to let go many items lately. (I can only sneak so much past her). BUt if it were me on this....hands down MINE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
