Who was collecting Scottish Ryals?

TwoKopeiki

I always found that series to be very appealing and remember that someone on the forums posted about their collection with some images. Who was it? And was it ever finished?

I ask because there are 4 nice pieces coming up for auction @ CNG in May that I'm keeping an eye on:

I have to agree with you - those are amazing designs.

DennisH comes to mind.

Id guess Saor Alba

You're right! It was DennisH. I've dug up some of his old threads below. Too bad the image links no longer work.

This is how it started in 2005.

And continued in 2006...

... and 2008 ...

Me mum would approve! Now, if she'd send me a fat check I'd buy a few!!!!

Crazily enough it is something else in the CNG auction that I have put bids on and hope to get. A little side interest that I need an example of for my type set.

Yep, it's me who's doing a set of Ryals. The last time I was able to acquire one for the set was January 2010 and I'm down to needing just two now: 1568 and 1571.

By the way... thanks for tipping me off about CNG. I'm not a foreign collector so I didn't know about them. I won't be bidding on anything in the auction, but I was very happy to see they have a price archives that can actually be searched, so I was able to add several more Ryal sales results to the modest database I've assembled.
