    1. Sorry to bother you guys again, just wondering what would be a good price if I was offered to buy this.Thanks a lot
    2. What would you say the current value is of those ribbons? Please and thank you!
    3. Hi Megan, thanks for asking Top row is from left to right: General Service ribbon with active duty rosettes and the mortar gunner specialist ribbon. Bottom row: Military sports ribbon (2nd award), Specialist medic and nuclear warfare protection ribbon, Assault rifle marksmanship ribbon. Hope this helped..as to fullsize medals, see above post from Antonio. There is no medal equivalent to my ribbons.
    4. My own personal ribbons from service in the Swiss Army, with the beret badge of the now defunct 3rd Field Division and my mortar company collar insignia for the Dress Uniform (The badge was mounted wrongly by the shadow box maker, the Swiss cross should be vertical)
    5. In November 2006, Upham's VC and Bar were purchased from his daughters by the Imperial War Museum for an undisclosed sum, however NZ Minister of Defence at the time Phil Goff, announced a price of 3.3 million that the family had quoted the Government for a potential purchase of the medal. New Zealand legislation prohibits the export of such historical items, so the Imperial War Museum agreed to a permanent loan of the medals to the National Army Museum at Waiouru. On 2 December 2007, Upham's VC was among nine stolen from locked, reinforced glass cabinets at the museum. On 16 February 2008, the New Zealand Police announced all the medals had been recovered as a result of a NZ$300,000 reward offered by Michael Ashcroft and Tom Sturgess. Source: Wikipedia
    6. Hello and greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada Got these two ribbon bars some time ago. I am pretty sure they are not the issued ones, more like a display for the local Canadian Royal Legion (Veteran organization). Are they of any value or collectable? Many thanks for the help received..
