At the budget end ebay has a constant supply of RFA or RGA medals; Trio's - £50+, Pairs - £40+, or single medals from as little as £10.

It's not unlike buying a used car. You have to search several dealers and know what you want. Only way to do that is the web. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted 21 February , 2018 Share Posted 21 February , 2018 the medals or the story? if you want to stick to RFA or RGA as said above, they tend to be the budget end of the market as often they are not as researchable as line regiments. Ive a couple of casualty trio's not much paperwork and just over £120, a 'line' casualty would command half as much again. search with Google , another place is 'The Saleroom' this is a site that the majority of auction houses use. prices can be lower but you get hammered on commission. and if not able to collect postage. Ive had a pair and plaque turn up in oversize box for £15, waiting a plaque and certificate quoted £27 same company, ebay or a dealer would probably charge £6.95 max.

Dazscuba Posted 21 February , 2018 Author Share Posted 21 February , 2018 Thanks again gents, I have just started buying and so it’s good to have a view of people on here and find new places that sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted 22 February , 2018 Share Posted 22 February , 2018 Do you get anywhere near Mark Carters military fair's. Can't post link on iPad at work. There are a few up north. Can normally haggle a few percent off for cash sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
