Thank you all very much!

Stewy: Try as I might I have never come across a bronze version in person and almost never see them for sale. Was the survival rate of Bronze recipients was much lower? I too would love one.

Ned: Again, thanks for the help. I am needless to say very happy to add this to the collection. I agree that this would be an early version. The reverse however shows a lighter Oval impression around the catch vs my 25.

Been working very hard on my photos thanks to tips from some of the guys here on "F-Stops" and "ISO"!!!

And a brand new LED light box helps immensely as well

You're right Michael, but I'm lucky enough to have a grade II bronze PKA doc. So the award itself will be easier to find. Stewy

Being easier to find may be, it's the necessity of having to sell a kidney to fund the purchase that's the really difficult part......

I have a wife & child Ned. Doesn't matter whom the kidneys original owner was

. Chloroform's a wonderful thing
