My dad was cleaning out his papers and found this New Zealand medal awarded for service in the Land wars 1861-66
Its a bit knocked around.
he wants me to get it valued.
Any one got any idea of its value or where one could get it valued?

Quick look on EBay suggests somewhere in the 5-600 sterling region.... If it's the same medal.

Thanks I checked fleabay also and saw them for around 600 ssterling but those are in better condition.
This one was issued to a new zealander but those fleabay ones are issued to imperial troops don't know if that makes a difference?
