With our contacts I would hope that they will be spotted, some very distinctive pieces there.

WHY?

Why do people do this? Will keep an eye out for you as well. I have turned myself into a rather avid collector of medals to the London Regiment (singles only), but maybe those to Osborne will show up somewhere.

Cheers Andy.

Yes why just why.

why can't they stay off someone's property the F-ing B*****s

Like you said Paul "Its every collectors worst nightmare..."

Good luck and i will keep my eyes open for it

I think this is worth a bump in case members have missed it.
