WWII Silver Star - Wht's it Worth?

[Wolfbane]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, so mods please move if here is inappropriate.

I have a WWII Silver Star and chest ribbon in the original presentation box which has been in my possession for several years (recipient unknown).

Does anyone know where/how I can determine what it's worth?

TIA,

Wolf

There are any number of websites for medals' dealers. Use your Goofle-fu to see what turns up. Without provenance, you've got a Silver Star and it might have an auction value of $XX but not $###X. If you don't like their prices, you can always put it on epay and set a fairly high threshhold price.

Do you think he's moving south? Probably not if he is charged and convicted here.

Mint condition? $75-$100 if it is cased with ribbon.
If in less than mint condition, start taking dollars off that price.

Got proof it's real? There are lots of repro's of nearly everything. On the evil anti-firearm ownership empire know as E-Bay, they run about $35 to $70 US. Won't be worth that much in Canada unless you can find out who it belongs to and can find a collector who wants it.
