OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 07/01/2013 05:39 am Thanks for the speedy reply, I've never heard of the maker. I'd be interested to know the sort of price his work commands. I paid a reasonable amount for the medal purely based on aesthetics. Have you seen any of his work for sale? Or a general ball-park figure? Report this Post to the Staff
