I had no idea of their potential worth and thought, perhaps, the CB insignia might have been returned to whoever.
In fact the only insignia which have to be returned on the death of the holder are those of the Order of the Garter and the Order of the Thistle. All others are passed on and may be retained or sold as the new owner wishes.
pzu if you want to contact me by PM I can offer my advice of the best way to dispose of these with a view to raising the most money for charity, and you can forward that to the person your referred to in your original post.
