Way outside my league as well! The cost price for the Unknown Warrior plate without the crest was over £600, so I have no idea what these will go for but I would expect well into four figures!

Still there was a guy at The Loughborough Gala the other week doing nice wooden replicas for under £100 - might just stretch to one of those!

Best wishes,
