Kev in Deva Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hallo Uwe thanks for your answer, do any of these rate any particular value or rarity? The boxed ones appear to have their original boxes and most are in mint to VG condition.They are actually outside my normal field of military medal collecting.Kevin in Deva.

speedytop Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 "do any of these rate any particular value or rarity?"Sorry, no. With matching documents it will rise in value, but without documents... I think, that the older cases are a little bit more valuable than the badges in it RegardsUwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
