Karmen your price is about the going value on these. Again scarcity is the key, and the 83rd is not rare.

Hi Bill,
Thank's a lot for all this information. I love the idea behind their use! When I saw the Q.O.R. and OVERSEAS BATTALION I thought of Geoff and that maybe it would be of personal interest to him because of that ... so I bought it and slipped it in with his birthday card
(I'm glad I didn't "over pay" ... thanks for that info too)
MARK ... thanks a lot, again, for your input here too. Again ... I know a little more in spite of my old age
