Talbot Letters Patent sold on Ebay

I would be surprised if most Internet competent heraldry enthusiasts didn't keep a weather eye on Ebay, I certainly do and I have on the odd occasion found myself a bargain. Some items offered for sale though are rather difficult to put a value on; one example is the recent sale of the Letters Patent of Sir William John Talbot.

The Letters Patent of Sir John record a grant of arms from the College of Arms went under the hammer for only £106 on the 12th September 2007. Described as The Armorial Bearings of Sir William John Talbot - Illuminated Manuscript, handwritten and painted by "The Royal College of Arms" 1935 [22" x 22"] Excellent condition for age.

I hope it went to someone in the Talbot family.
