Medal Collecting in London
London's long military, civic and international history means collections may include British service medals, campaign awards, gallantry decorations, commemorative medals and awards connected with service overseas. Supporting records can be especially useful when establishing a collection's background.
The Medal Collecting Market in London
London collections can range from single historical medals to carefully preserved groups passed down through families. Their potential interest depends on the specific awards and the evidence available about their history.
Collector interest varies with rarity, campaign, recipient history, condition, completeness and provenance. No particular location or category guarantees a specific selling price.
Collections may include inherited service medals, gallantry awards, boxed decorations, commemorative pieces and documents kept alongside the medals.
