LACKIE14 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 whats the normal price for a aircrew europe medal these days. i understand that if you want something bad enough you pay what ever, but why is the price of this medal compared to the other stars so much more.

RAF635SQ Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I guess it would be about £50, but ask Kenny he will probably know an exact price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LACKIE14 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 i got a copy (2008) the aircrew star is quoted as £160-180 adding a clasp, depending on which clasp, you can add £15-60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LACKIE14 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 so is the medal book the price bible when buying from dealers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It's not bad. The prices in the book are an average of a combination of what dealers were charging and prices realised at Auctions. Therefore the 2008 MYB used 2007 prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Have posted the pictures for you Macca 1. Pebbling within the circlet is poor and irregular on the copy. 2. The three horizontal parts of the letter "E" are just about same length on copy while on the original the central horizontal is noticeably shorter. 3. Letters have a flat surface on the original 4. Letters generally have different shape and positions between the two: compare the "W" of "CREW" look how its positioned in relation to the bottom of the "V" of the "VI" and also the centre line of the bottom star arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
