Paul R Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This is the best British Empire related medal collection I have ever seen. Completely amazing. What item are you in search for, which you do not already have? What are the top three things on your wish list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabrigade Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi Paul, As you are aware, collecting is an on-going process and is never really complete. I am gradually building up a collection of the various Victorian campaigns but that will stay take a long time. During my time in Afghanistan, I collected a large variety of British India General Service medals which I will frame when I go on leave next month. I was very fortunate to recently purchase a Sudan pair to a confirmed charger from the 21st Lancers at the Battle of Omdurman and so it continues into the various fields.

sabrigade Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi Ulsterman, Is this the group you refererred too? Regards, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson1805 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Lovely collection ..... at least I know what to aim for :-) My only problem is an issue I keep having regarding original ribbons. I always prefer original ribbons even if they look bad because I feel replacement ribbons just don't look right - for a 'historical' collection. Are your ribbons all replacement or have they just been cleaned very well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian conyngham Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Guys These pictures do not do Williams collection justice, one has to see them to really appreciate the collection as a whole! Fortunately I've been privileged to have seen them and all the other items in this amazing collection on two occasions Well done William Brian.

David B 1812 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Congrats on a really impressive and wonderful collection, beautifully displayed. As a collector of over 30 years myself, in can see that the groups in your collection are of REALLY SERIOUS QUALITY. And we will not even begin to start talking about market value........... Very well done. David B 1812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
