It’s worth about £30-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hull Posted 22 November , 2020 Author Share Posted 22 November , 2020 (edited) Touche....I am undone. Yes Covid job loss clear-out leads once again to eBay-ing of part of my childhood militaria collection! Like millions of other people I guess. Thanks for your valuation, I was struggling to find a similar example online and thought it might be quite rare so, rather than under, I did rather over - price it as a safety measure. i'll put a more realistic figure on it now, thank you for all your help Edited 22 November , 2020 by Andrew Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
