£40k is an eye watering estimate for Captain Legg's South Atlantic Medal and Northern Ireland GSM. Before PPRuNers who have these two medals start getting excited, I should warn them that £1,000 would be a more usual estimate for a similar pair to an officer - maybe a little more on a good day. Whether they make the estimate we shall see, but if they do it will be the magic letters "SAS", plus the story behind the medals which will get them there.
