It was interesting to watch the many QSAs at Noonan's go under the hammer yesterday.

There was good range of South African units on offer. Many of these sold for sub £100 hammer prices. £60 was the lowest price noted for an undamaged/not renamed QSA.

The single Transport Medal to Master Kendall sold very well.
