Steven Broomfield Posted 11 February , 2020 Share Posted 11 February , 2020 Can anyone assist, please? For many years I have owned a Mercantile Marine Medal, BWM, VM trio. The former is named to Noel A Haughton and the others to M 13780 N A Haughton C E R A 2 RN. They were given to me by the granddaughter of the recipient about 50 years ago, I seem to remember. Firstly, can anyone tell me anything about this chap - I know absolutely nothing about him and don't even know what a CERA 2 is/was. Secondly, and slightly cheekily, what would be the value of them? I'm considering selling them simply because they've spent 50 years in a box and deserve better. As ever, thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldstreamer Posted 11 February , 2020 Share Posted 11 February , 2020 (edited) as to value , Id take a stab at around £150 - based on similar ive seen but with Naval medals interest depends on ships served and these mean nothing to a land lubber (an insurance price) Edited 11 February , 2020 by Coldstreamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
