Default Re: Very interesting auction of communications equipment

Yes David, it looks like one person's lifetime accumulation. Some mixed lots have tins of odds and ends, wire etc. Although military gear is bulky and unattractive, more and more are collecting it and prices naturally increase.
With interest rates as they are, I am in no hurry to dispose of my assortment of WW2 gear.
The auction estimates are not at all accurate. Seems pick a range between £40 -£80!
R1155s look unmolested, 19 sets too.
Then there is the 28.44% tax inclusive commission on top as well.
Bet it makes quite a lot of money in total. Be interesting to see the prices realised after the auction, if they are published online.
