The VMS is likely to result in a dead end. The SA stuff may possibly yield some gen, as there are those are researchable. But really, this all looks a bit... directionless acquisition. Is there a theme or are you just hoovering up anything?

AE: Awarded 2nd Feb 1955.

Thanks Tony!

Yes, directionless acquisition it is. Do not collect British stuff systematicly.... not yet anyway, so I was actually just hoovering those medals from the market because the reasonable price.

Thanks again,

Well... hoover away! AEs are always nice to see, though you may incur the wrath of the AE collectors if you scoop too many of those up.

Thanks Tony!

South Africa medals will be researched shortly... actually I hope it is in progress at the moment.

But I would like to know what are my chances to get the FLT LT E.E. McCALLION R.A.F.V.R. Air Efficiency award researched? from where to start, who can help or can be the right contact to ask

Next random find...

Special Constabulary Long Service Medal, George V issue. Awarded to Mr. Alfred Ledger

As far I understand there is 4 different type of obverses?
