Antiques roadshow models

The lady doing the value pricing , she usually does the kids toys, teddy bears and dolls . She was out of her depth doing those factory Austin military models , they should have got the militaria chap to do it .

Cheers Phil

Militaria chap is ok for Cap Badges and Medals, but hasn't got a clue about anything more complicated... he told me an SOE/Resistance radio set I have was definitely not collectable and of little value... he had absolutely no idea what it was and wasn't honest enough to admit it.

Interesting, I've had a few of those sets as well , yes they are highly collectable now . A complete B2 set was sold here on epay recently , just over 1k$ , I bid on it .
