Welcome to the Forum Tom !

I was told that a Rupert sold for over $2000 through a European Auction House so , it might be worth putting a reserve on it and giving Ebay a try.

How did you end up with 2 of them ?

Well im from the far west midlands if you know what i mean and after dday they ended up at a military base. I cant say much but i aquired them of a relative and as i said i've only just found out about thier collectability. Thanks for the information Mike.

I'm glad you guys liked seeing him ...I was also amazed at how simple he was compared to the high detailed versions the Movie studios made ..but it wouldn't make sense to make them with all the details during the War , so why bother? They'll be seen from a distance and did the job just fine.

It was a "Canvas Bag" full of History that I just couldn't pass up

Have any of you seen any others for sale ? ..wonder what they are going for these days

Hello. I know this is long after this discussion but i have to "ruperts" i did not know that they were such a collectors item until i was told. Do you have any idea where i could possibly sell them. Thanks Tom
