but what would a Waterloo medal fetch in hard cash
.
Cobaltfrog makes a good point. In around 1988 I sold a Waterloo Medal to a Cornet (2nd Lieut equivalent) in the Scots Greys who was killed in the famous charge of the greys, often considered to be the turning point in the battle. Catalogue value then was around £250 and I got £850 for it. Now it would easily make £10k against a cat value of £3k.
Another one I wish I'd kept for the pension fund. Ho hum
Sled Dog - In answer to the question of multiple clasp GSMs, the later GSM which had been awarded for campaigns from 1962 on ceased to be awarded wef 31 July 2007, when eligibility for the 'Northern Ireland' clasp ceased. There were 13 clasps in all, the rarest being 'South Vietnam' which was only awarded to 70 Australian and (I believe) NZ recipients. The maximum number of clasps to one recipient was 6 (I got one!)
