    No idea, but check value by googling auctions and militaria dealers.
    Personally I would sell the flares separate but that's just me.

    Bear in mind that the flares are not mailable and UPS has a substantial hazmat charge.

    Be careful with those flares. If any are marked "IM-11", they are incendiary impact explosive. Very unstable. I believe the M8 is rarer than the M-9 that replaced it. You may be sitting on some big bucks, find the right buyer. Don't be tempted to try them out. Bob
