Very early Indian regiment with British officers or soldiers—honestly, I never liked them much. They’re too generic to identify, and Len didn’t pay much attention to Indian Army uniforms at the time. I sold all mine long ago. If the single figure has a TM mark on the base, then yes—it’s a...

The point of this thread is to discuss prices for the items we are looking for—so tell me, what is this ambulance worth to you in USD? I know it’s a tricky question, and you’re under no obligation to answer—it might reveal your bidding intentions. But on the other hand, someone reading this...

I totally agree with the philosophy—but in the end, we all have an unfinished bucket list…because collecting is 10% owning and 90% longing.

Louis, I’m sure you’ll eventually find the ambulance—and when you do, you’ll look back on the time you spent hunting for it as a nostalgic but slightly painful experience... kind of like discovering your grail piece the day after you overspent on something else. 😄

I had a similar situation recently. If tracking shows that your parcel was delivered to the eBay hub, your responsibility ends there. In my case, the buyer opened a claim against me, but eBay intervened, refunded the buyer, and closed the case without any complications on my end. I did...

I guess everyone’s a bit shy at the start of a new thread, so—as usual—I’ll go ahead and break the ice 🙂 After many years of collecting Trophys—sometimes with near-religious devotion—I’ve scoured every scrap of info I could find, chatted with collectors and former dealers, hunted shows like a...

Tom, to avoid the headache of dealing with UK sellers who, for various reasons, won’t ship to the US, just use forward2me.com. They’ll provide you with a UK mailing address and then forward the parcel to the US. It’s actually cheaper than eBay’s Global Shipping Program.

King George V and Tsar Nicholas II looked so alike they were often mistaken for twins, and there’s rich WWI historical context that could inspire a Trophy-style set. “Cousins at War – 1914” Theme: The tragic irony of two lookalike monarchs—once allies and family—leading empires now on...

Thank you, Martyn—what an excellent idea. Len would be proud of this set. For someone who doesn't know the story, I took the liberty of sharing a brief overview. ⚔️ The Death of the Prince Imperial (Napoléon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte) Date: June 1, 1879 Location: Near the Ityotyosi...
