    Have a pair of these medals, issued to a relative, just curious to know if they are valuable. Black and tan medal doesn't have the comac bar.

    A tan war medal?

    Worth a small fortune.

    They're the people to speak to. Most items during the last 1916-22 auction they held went for crazy money to be honest, in many cases more than I imagine the items to be worth. I think the auctions title is Independence, and it's annual?

    Don't think I could sell them really, but they are definitely more valuable then I thought.

    Most of those are fakes. There's a new batch of fakes after being made.

    I was talking about the genuine ones,not those cheap and cheerful reproductions that are listed up all the time.Any real ones are still slow to gather any real value even ones with combat bars,there has been many gone unsold in the pat few months,that is why I would advise anyone who was thinking of selling with the expectation of making alot of money to hold off until theres a better market comes around again
