Thank you for the tip

Have been busy working all summer and just now getting around to taking pics and submitting them to see what it is exactly I have.

Mainly interested in what each medal is called and approx. value

I am most likely going to submit them for sale here on this forum or another.

What area should I post pics to so I can get feedback on what the madals are and what they might be worth value wise ?

thank you

Welcome and if you go to British Medal forum you wont get valuations there, as it is not allowed and to sell you have posted at least 50 times from memory so get your camera out a post some photos of what you have mate.

Cheers

When I shrink the size of the pics to post on the forum all the detail goes away

I have the full sized original pics on my ipad I can email to anyone interested in seeing them

email address is target1961@yahoo.com

Hi StrkAliteN, Welcome to the Forum.
A couple of suggestions about posting. If you are looking for identifications, the best sub-forum would be the It's a Mystery or Other Militaria.
Many of the medals in your images should be named on the edge or perhaps on the reverse. The name of the recipient can make a significant difference in value.
And, thanks for being up front about your intentions. Too often we have new members asking for id's and values so they can list on ebay or some other auction site.
