Local auction patch finds

[ROBB]

I was at the local auction house checking on a few "military" lots which were rubbish ,so I was about to go when I spied these postcards , so I rifled through them hoping to find a few postcards of old soldiers but they were mostly religious scenes ,but ........

I came across this envelope adressed to 2nd lt C.G.Cooper 402 HAA battery RA ah ha I thought this looks promising so I opened it up and found these ........

[Sorry Irv ,I found these ,which was nice .The estimate for the lot was £15 ,so I left a bid of £75 (just too be on the safe side) and got them for £48 ,which means someone else had spotted them too .Rob.

Hello Rob,

I don't know anything about patches but, it looks as though you were a very lucky bugger finding them there.

Well done Rob

It's nice to get lucky once in a while. If only it happened more often

I concur!, Any chance to get some closeups of the Observer brevets? Those look to be beauties!
