    Thanks Zohar, I really should pick up an Eimers. BHM misses an awful lot. Over half my collection is not in the Books.image

    Nice medal, boz.

    Is the value asked at C2M realistic?

    Have you got a link? This was not inexpensive if that is an answerimage

    Cool one image

    Fits the BBL collection and my b--feeding one as well. Plus I'm currently reading a book about Charlotte--->Victoria, with the focus on Victoria (Becoming Queen Victoria) on my Kindle and the part I just read is about Caroline's death. There is a lot of interesting history there with Caroline! And smarter obstetric choices might have had a far different outcome for Great Britain (and Europe in general when you factor in Victoria's hemophilia mutation she passed on).

    I like this one!

    Yes it would cathy,image


    holdandcreartive,,, I'm going to have to stop smoking that funny stuff. I completely missed that link, my mind put that in his sig. line, Old age creeping in. So Sorry. Poor Photo, but Looking at the apparent condition of that piece, I sure wouldn't pay up that high, I'd sell this one to him for that though. Put mine in an Original Box and no scratch by her eye and that might be a good price to ask. The last Caroline medal I sold was $350 I think, It was a death medal and have no way to tell the comparative rarity.image
