The framed fragment of Victory's Union Jack to be auctioned at Christies sale yesterday 17th remained unsold. Presumably bids did not reach the lower reserve of £50K.

Thanks for the info, Phil. My estimate that it would go for 'at least double' the reserve of £50-70 thousand was a little wide of the mark!

Thanks for posting that, appear. Caution about provenance is wise, particularly when it relies on family lore, as it does here.
