    Thanks Robin.

    I don't think I have ever seen one sell for that much either?

    Cheers, Ade.

    Robin,
    I've had one of your books sence it was first published.
    Now that you're famous, maybe I need to seed it back to be autographed.

    I remember my Grandad (ex - WW2 REME) buying your books for me as a kid, (I'm a bit over 18 now!) Thanks Robin, you actually inspired me to collect more.

    The good thing about being a 'mouldy old ba$tard' from the 'Golden Age' is this .................. you eventually learn it's true that, in the time-honoured phrase, 'everything comes to he who waits' (providing he keeps on searching !)

    When my TRM book came out in 1987, all I could offer were pathetic line drawings of these almost mythical campaign shields.

    Well, they all did eventually come to me .............. after a fair bit of hunting for 30-odd years.

    The Lappland, Lorient and Dunkirk are originals. Lappland official, the others unofficial.

    The Memel is a total fantasy ........... but it has clearly been based on the self-penned amateur drawing in my old book ! It's been stamped into lead, in the manner of a trial matrix.

    I found it on the 'net a few years ago and have never seen another. It seems to have been a 'one off'.

    So. Things have come full circle !

    Robin,

    Very nice collection/selection and I can also attest to your books as being some of the first I bought many years ago and they still are an integral part of my reference library..

    Best regards, stay safe
