Battle of Britain named Schwimmvest

I own a Battle of Britain Schwimmvest taken from Lt Achleitner of JG3 on 24th August 1940 after he had been shot down into the sea off Herne Bay.
I have many other details about him to add to the story of the vest.

My question is this:

I have to renew my house insurance very soon and list all items over £1000 with the approximate value of each item.
I know a Battle of Britain named Schwimmvest with known history is a rare beast but what would all you collectors out there put as a resonable value.

I should add it is never for sale !
