I am very chuffed :) I've just won the above medal to a chap who I think is Abraham Faure Robertson, a Magistrate about whom there appears to be quite a bit of info.

He was on the Attorney General's Ministerial Division list and, if I'm not mistaken also served with the Ceres Town Guard alongside his son Andre McGregor Robertson.

Anyone with a Cape Who's Who or a Civil List or two's help would be appreciated.. :)

Regards

Rory

Rory,

Ah! You'll be the reason why I just received an email from the auctioneer commiserating on the fact that my bid was not successful :(

Well done for acquiring the QSA! I look forward to hearing about the man.

Best wishes

I still feel that there is something to be said to actually buying privately or retail when possible, if you can find something you really want, perhaps I'm in minority, but, at least there is no disappointment whatsoever, you are not left wondering after what can so often be a very long wait anyway.
