After a long hard think, two and a half years of zero use and intermittent nagging I've decided to ask the members here what my kit would be worth to sell. I greatly value the opinions on here and have asked permission beforehand.
Firstly the pics:

Are you selling here, on Ebay, or at your local site?
If Ebay, I think the prices it might realise are as stated below.
£60-70 for the smock, £10-15 for the beret, £80-100 maybe a bit more for the helmet, scarf £6-8, messkit £5, mug £5, ffd £3-4, boots £15 or so, bayonet £10-12, anklets? which pattern, size & date?
As to the webbing, what are the dates and condition? What does etc. cover?
Battledress, since it's Spearhead, perhaps £60, maybe a bit more if the insignia is good stuff.
This is just my opinion though, and the prices that stuff goes for on Ebay seem to vary wildly sometimes.
Hope it helps you though.

Preferably selling here. It's awesome kit so I'd like it to go to someone in the community if possible.
Webbing is all WW2 dates (although all over the place) and every thing on the list is included. The "etc" is extras like a spare belt and bits in a spares box such as an unblancoed entrenching tool cover and handle.
Anklets are 37 pattern, WW2 dates, unknown size but fit standard calves just fine.
BD has Monty's Locker insignia on it and all is present and correct.
All of that does indeed help, thank you.
The e-tool cover is a valuable item on its own these days.

better by design

Out of interest, what sort of strap is on the helmet, and what size is it?
Black leather para chincup & straps. Comfortable around my 58cm head to a little bigger or a little smaller (approx 1-2cm).
