$10 USD (or equivent in local currency..) per imperial pound in wieght of checked in luggage

You would need to take a look at your Travel Insurance policy. There should be a section for lost baggage. I believe it to be around £75 but check your policy. Failing that, I would contact the airline who you flew with.

Check with the airlines what their policies are. Usually it is about $1,200 a bag. You have to buy everything back and provide them with your reciepts.
Good Luck

They pay for replacement of your bag at current value - providing you can provide a receipt for the replacement. They pay for contents as well plus inconvenience money

google the Warsaw Pact.
at the end of the day, not very much - they pay you out by the weight of your luggage, not what it cost you to buy the clothing et. al.
