Good day, I ask for help in assessing for 2026, a copy from my personal collection, called "Olympic Games Londom 1908 Steward", I ask experts or simply knowledgeable people to assess it!

 

Some information about the sign:

I am Ukrainian, The mark came from my father

I found some information in the catalog, link below:

According to the Elbel S-8 catalog. Very rare. Condition: EF (excellent) with patina. ($6,000), but in my opinion it should be more expensive due to its rarity and unavailability.

Rarity does not equal value, you also need enough collectors to want an item. Not sure how high demand is for such an object, to me the price given os already very high.

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
