Luftwaffe Honor Goblet Values

[Stormfighter]

I just acquired two Luftwaffe Honor Goblets from a deceased friend's collection. One was issued to a Bordmechaniker (engineer) in a bomber wing, who also won the German Cross in Gold, and the other was issued to a Bombenschuetze (bombardier) on a bomber. They are Alpaka examples. My question is, what is a realistic value for each of the goblets? Thanks for anyone's help in advance!

Barry,

Alpaka versions to enlisted aircrewmen are the most commonly encountered types of goblets, but they're still good money. I think $4000 minimum, maybe more at a show. Do you have the Ehrenlisten for them as well?

Thanks Gene. No, I don't have the Ehrenlisten for them. I do have a handwritten statement dated 1990 for the bombardier who stated that he shot down two B-17s, a P-47 and a Mitchell among others during the war. Unfortunately I don't know the airman's units or what type of aircraft he flew in.

At the last MAX show there was one Alpaka with a really beautiful patina to a Bordfunker or Bordschütze who was also holder of german cross in gold for sale on the table of a famous US dealer. The price was $3800 and it didn't sell.

I would say $3,000 is more realistic if you want to move them.
