Kyrstyn again just wanted to update everyone michael is doing a lot better he should be out of the hospital in two or three weeks. But its going to be a while before he is back to 100%. He underwent surgery to put screws in his leg and arm to as he put it "keep it all in top party form". He asked me to tell all of you how much he appretiates the members here and there well wishing. -

even if they are not a group the individual value of the medals would make them worth a pretty penny the navy cross looks like it might be a black widow or a gunmetal version cheers Michael

$500-700 is a fair estimate i would personally think $600-800 maybe more. cheers michael -

canadian bacon replied to all1knew's topic in GROUPINGS PAGE
i think you are looking at a very nice and desireable grouping and someone will pay a good amount for this group . (sorry but i don't like giving prices especially if i am interested in potentially buying it) cheers michael p.s. if you figure out a price i would be interested in this one -
Named Navy GCM - Robert Horton Gillespie 1943
canadian bacon replied to Marksman's topic in MEDALS & DECORATIONS
it looks like the medal is 100% good but the suspension has been replaced later on. 1) the medal definitely has the look of a ww2 era strike due to the detail and patina. 2) engraving looks right for ww2 3)suspension was replaced maybe even by the vet himself but more likely by a family member maybe try to find a ww2 era suspension for the medal. cheers michael -
