A telex signed by Margaret Thatcher to signal the end of the Falkland's war in 1982 is coming to auction in the UK.
![]() This is the example sold at Bonhams. The original document in the present sale was donated by Margaret Thatcher to a charity auction in 1999 |
The document is signed by the recently deceased Thatcher as well as Major General Jeremy Moore, and is expected to see bids of up to £15,000 ($23,331). This is the original; a copy previously auctioned through Bonhams in April 2012, realising $11,522.
Should it meet the £15,000 valuation on May 21 at Mullock's, the telex will have shown a 102% increase in price over the copied example.
We currently have an early signed photograph of Margaret Thatcher, as well as some fantastic autographs on card.
