Richard Sysum Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hello EveryoneI Have have been offered a good set to a u-boat man and it contains a Spanish cross in bronze citation and a KIA u-boat document can anyone advise me on a good price to pay for these two documents.I do Know that the KIA u-boat docs are much rarer than the normal ones.Best Regards Richard.

Gordon Williamson Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 RichardA posthumous U-Boat Badge Document can easily fetch ?400 - ?500 on its own.Docs for the Spanish Cross in Bronze are not all that rare, but a U-Boat one would fetch a premum price. |I would be thinking of a starting price of no less than around ?600-?700 for the pair. Many U-Boat men got the Spanienkreuz while serving on surface ships, only transferring to U-Boats later. Only a small number actually served in U-Boats during the civil war. If it is established that this guy got the Spanienkreuz actually on a U-Boat it would be very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Sysum Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hello Gordon The set also has an early u-boat badge doc dated 1940 ,a EK2 doc dated 1940 and a 4year service medal doc dated 1939.I do not Know why the mans family were given the KIA doc but it is dated mid 1943 about 1 year after he died and 3 and a half years later than his first u-boat award.Maybe they just sent the wrong doc.Best Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
