Hi Everyone

Hoping that some can assist with a SAGS 1879 Bar and suspender.

Chris Dixon certainly used to be awash with that sort of thing, perhaps, it might be worth a quick call.

Hi Frank

I did meet Chris at the OMRS show in London last year. He did not have any.

Hello Anthony,
This sort of thing has become very difficult to obtain in recent years, I would still ask him, just in case the situation has changed from last year, but, failing that, it is really just a case of keeping your ear close to the ground, sadly, even today there are still people and amongst them many jewellers who scrap this sort of stuff for it's basic raw value.
It used to be plentiful, times have certainly changed, another person who might be able to help you, now or in the future, would be Jonathan Collins.

How times change!

This is a Boer War Forum Anthony - not one relating to a conflict 20 years earlier - that would be the Victorian Wars Forum you would be after.

Regards

Rory

Anthony,
Who was the recipient of the South African War medal concerned, anyone interesting?
Regards again Frank
