    Opinion please - common cased medals

    Hi guys,

    About bloody time I found a flea market in my neck of the woods!

    Just picked these up today.

    Look ok to me, how'd they look to you?

    Cheers,
    David.

    At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'

                    Dan, I am not really that up on the prices of these so I'm not too sure. I do know that I was quite happy to give the £140 that it took, they are in nice shape. I don't think that was that far out was it?

                    Cheers,
                    David.

                      Sounds good to me. Can I ask you where your "neck of the woods" is situated?

                        Well 140£ is a fair price, considering that you got the cases and they are in very good condition.

                            And boy did I see some dog rough edged weapons; with one or two reasonable ones here and there.

                              Very nice and a good deal - I'd expect to see this lot for at least £200 on a dealer site. I've never seen a sudetenland medal with the inside of the lid matching the flock base of the lower half of the case though, it's normally an off-white linen colour.
