      I don't Know whether it still occurs but one year representatives of the Zulu nation would go to Brecon for a good knees up courtesy of the regiment another year members of the regiment were guests of the Zulus. Paul

      Does anyone know what is the significance of stamped figure 3 between the dates? Paul

      Yes Sagongs is his site. For those who are interested in the medals and decorations of South Asia, especially the Indian subcontinent, It is probably the greatest repository of knowledge on the series. I have been a member of the forum for 11 years. Paul

      Difficult to be certain Kris but I would have thought about 300 euros the pair assuming the enamel on the reverse is not damaged. Paul

      Very nice, interestingly West made the insignia of the Order of St Patrick. Paul

      Frank, I agree with you totally, as general comment on all orders and medals, if metal content and weight were given in standard references it would make things somewhat more difficult for the forgers. Paul

      Yes Frank that's correct, although I am not sure whether the pre-mutiny pieces might be higher. Paul

      May well have been in the merchant fleet prior to the great war. Paul

      Frank, The gold Kaisar-i-Hind is 18 carat gold (.750). The silver is as you say.925. All the best, Paul

      They are effectively commemoratives and presumably were not listed. Paul

      Worrying but hopefully those would not get passed me, compared to some of the fakes I have encountered these are amateurish. Paul

      I get quite paranoid these days about high end Soviet to the point of wondering whether any of it is genuine and unfortunately it's going to strangle the market to death, much as happened to the Imperial German market when the Blass fakes started to swamp the market in the 70s and 80s. Paul

      Jan, thank you so much. Paul

      The only dubious certificates I have seen are the Russian museum ones and if they say something is genuine it is almost certainly fake and vice-versa. Paul

      I think Umberto's collar was awarded both as sovereign of the kingdom of Italy and exceptional services to moustache cultivation. Paul
    21. paul wood
      They are a gift from one sovereign to another and therefore are not returnable on the death of the recipient. They only ones that might be a bit tricky are the German WWI forfeits, I know of a couple in Germany but I am unsure what the ruling would be were they to appear for sale. Paul

      For late unresearched pieces people are not going to pay a great deal more than that, I would reckon $30 is the wholesale price, any profit on that is good news for the seller. Paul
