hi oradour , thank for the info , was banging my head off the wall thring to get a price range on this. oh well i feel the medal fairy is about to raid my wallet. i have crossed over from 33/45 awards and medals within the last year and wonder why it took me so long ,the range and quality of awards appears endless . have discovered a major addiction to little black crosses . thanks again. paul,
