My unit has in its posession the sword belonging to Capt Noel Chavasse VC and bar MC. It was bought by him in 1917 for his forthcoming wedding. Unfortunatly he was killed in the act of winning his second VC before he was married, quite a sad and poingient (?) story. We have it secured in the unit but we think it should be on secure display.
My Question is; How can I find out how much it is worth? For insurance reasons of course! It looks as if it is a standard George V dress sword but it has been engraved with his details susequent to the award of his second VC
Anybody any ideas?
