leigh kitchen Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 An unexpected Christmas gift.Some while ago my wifes parents were at the Army & Navy Club in London with friends, when mother in law commented how much I'd like the various medals etc on display.At christmas, their friends were staying for a few days, & they bought along these items for me - they had belonged to the ladys late father, who had served during WWII & she had been looking for a home for them for some time.The first I knew of them was when my wife handed them to me on christmas day, I've never even met the people who have given them to me.I know little about these daggers or the EKII, I'd estimate their value at between ?200 - ?400 per dagger (although a quick check of websites shows prices for daggers with these manufacturers marks at up to ?600 - ?700) & the EKII at about ?30 - ?40, although manufacturers marks may dictate different?Can anybody help me out with a valuation please as I can't just accept these items without offering something in return even though, no doubt full payment in cash or kind to their actual monetary value would be declined.(I'm posting a link to this thread in the valuations forum).The blades are in perfect condition or as near as, I now need to find two pairs of hangers of sufficient qualty to do the daggers justice.
