23rd June 2005	Peter Weedon Lugg's group made £26,500 hammer and the casualty £5,500, the latter being a touch on the high side compared to recent sales. Peter
24th June 2005	Neil Raaff Peter, Ouch...quite a lot of cash! However, if I was in the position (which sadly I am not) to buy a group of that importance I would be prepared to go the extra mile. The £5,500 for the 1/24 casualty does seem quite high. I know medals are attracting more investors than usual at present so perhaps that is pushing the price up. Hope there isn't an almighy backlash when things start to cool off! I take it you were at the sale? What is your area of interest in collecting? Regards, Neil
