WW1 AIF memorial scroll

[Jerry B]

I have been offered this scroll and the seller is disposing of someone else's estate and will accept a reasonable offer, but I have no idea what these sell ofr.

Can anyone give me a ballpark valuation? You can pm if you want to keep it private.

As for value I think the scrolls alone are a bit subjective. Just looking at prices, they seem to range from about £15 to £70. Just saw an AIF scroll that sold for around £30. Personally I think about £30 would be tops for me as it is on its own.
