It is a truly fantastic catalog - a bit of everything old including what appears to be some early Imperial and even some Trophy
Yo Bob, got there in the end took 12 minutes to download (must get a new Battery for the Broadband
) Surprised Geoff Duin is selling his collection off, but there you go. I hope he doesn't take his site off its a great reference guide. As to the collection some amazing rare items, but also some early sets with bad boxes, no tie cards, not tied in, broken Lancers etc. I would rather have a post war set in top condition in a good box, than a set say of the 16th Lancers Officer no Sabre, 4 lance tips broken & no Box, OK its an early set but, not for me. When you see some of the items Dickbuttons sold, its like chalk & cheese, Dicks sets were top notch. Another thing that surprised me a lot of the sets not being tied in, cannot understand that one, its such an easy thing to do tying old sets in the box, and makes a big difference in price on the sale
. I know they are not all Geoff's, I know for sure he tied his sets in. The sale is listed as John Graham (dont know of him) & Geoff Duin. But hope Geoff does well he has always been a big help to me with old Britains sets. But I would question the timing off the sale with the recession. As you say Bob looks like some very early Imperial sets going, and some nice condition Mignot sets. Definitely worth taking the time to view the old sets guys
