Still haven't got into British Victorian pieces yet...thank God, can only imagine the minefields and costs there!! One day, you'll need to "inspire" me.

Well ... Victorian isn;'t as bad as you'd think. Sure there are dubious pieces, but mostly due to naming issues and "added" clasps vs. the out and out fake medals.

However, a clasp combination and Name (with Regt) makes the difference between a $250 dollar medal and a $2500 dollar medal. The guys that mess with the medals know that too.

Like any collection ... the more and more you work on an area .. sooner or later you have to grab the expensive ones. You either suck it up and buy to complete, or move onto other "less" expensive areas

Boy, how true and you notice I moved into French and Belgian areas among others lately.
