Underwater Demolition UDT 22 Instructor Group Help

[amberg1853]

Picked this group up from his widow. More of a WW2 collector but it is an interesting group and was a little worried what might happen to it if I didn't get it. I separated out the items that are likely from his service time as opposed to article articles acquired afterwards. Condition of the dive related items is a little "salty". No knife, just the scabbard.  Any idea of an approximate value?

That is a great grouping. I really like the instructor shirt. Did you get a name?

That is a great group, I bet the knife is on the bench in a tool box!

It is priceless... there is - no value on that stuff. Sell it to someone who really need it.

I need it, but can I afford it?

His name was Ronald W Lester. I asked about the knife and she said it's possible, I'm sure when she moves other things will pop up. Houses have a way of coughing things up like that. His wife donated his wetsuit to the Seal museum.

from what I have seen I think a good price would be $800 - $900 Here are some comps I can find but its only worth what somone will pay.
