Harry and Simon discuss their upcoming auction, focusing on a remarkable World War I medal set belonging to Reverend William Patrick Glyn McCormick. They delve into the emotional significance of auctioning historical items, share anecdotes about customer inquiries, and there's even a story of how our dearly departed friend Michael Baggott is still saving Harry. The conversation is filled with humour, insights into the auction world, and reflections on the legacy of those who served in the military.

ABOUT THE PODCAST
The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.
Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found.
Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
