Herr General Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) A veteran friend of mine has the following decorations:Military Cross1939/1945 StarFrance and Germany StarDefence MedalWar Medal 1939/1945General Service Medal 1918/1962 ( Canal Zone )General Service Medal 1962 ( Borneo )Chevelier De L?Orde De Leopold II avec palme - BelgiumCroix De Guerre 1940 avec palme - FranceBecause he travels a lot he would like to insure them. What would a good value be? Does he need to look at the replacement price of at the collecting price?

Paul L Murphy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 A lot of the value will depend on the regiment in which he served and the citation for the MC. Even if he served in the RA or RE and got a very normal citation the group is worth in excess of GBP2,000. If he served in a popular infantry regiment and was awarded the MC for a famous battle then you could almost double that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul L Murphy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I would say GBP3,000 would be a good rough value for insurance purposes.Regards,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
