Mike, certainly a lovely collectors item but I agree some of the clasps look a little lopsided. I don't know if that is because of the poorish photos or if they are really mounted very badly. I guess it would be a "nice-to-have" but for me personally I'll probably pass on this one. That feeling may be because I'm feeling a little guilty over how carried away I've been on "our favourite auction site" this month; literature not medals this time.

Cheers,

Mark

Unlike your example, this one was clearly not made up by the Master of the Mint. Some of the clasps seem to me to be "tailor's copies", so I suppose a collector took a named QSA and added the required number of clasps from whatever came to hand. If this was done a long time ago, it was probably cheap and easy to assemble. Given the price and rarity of some clasps today, it would be an expensive and time-consuming task to complete.

If this item is sold cheaply, it could be a bargain simply as a source of clasps.

Regards
Brett

Superb, Mike ! The Master of the Mint did I fine job on this one. Is the QSA named?
