    I know they take a long time to craft by hand and etch the silver plates and carve the wood. If you had commissioned it like that £50 in that part of the world where they are really good at carving anything from anything, and that is a lot of money.
    Based on that if you get £50 GBP you are doing well. I only value it there because 2 PARA had a full size Paratrooper carved with so much detail as you can imagine for £150 in one piece of wood, and finished in 2 days!!!!!

    That would be about $82CDN...which would likely be right too. You can't get big bucks for them. Guys like me like them for what they are but there doesn't seem to be anyone that froths up over them.
