MILITARIA
James Sadler
Senior Expert
James Sadler has been Lockdales' medals & militaria cataloguer since the foundation of the company, and is a well-known figure to the militaria collecting community.
Military badges are near endless in variety. Collections of these are often sold by the board, framed and mounted, but the rarest may be sold individually. We also deal with uniforms, caps, helmets, documents, field gear and everything in-between. We will work with pieces of all nationalities, including German, which we carefully check but do not guarantee. German militaria must be considered ‘sold as seen’ - a standard practice in the trade.
