Next thursday i'll be going to London for an extended weekend. If I could i would like to buy some WWII militaria, anyone knows where could i look for it?
Hi, I was there recently and had trouble finding stuff, but there is Grays Antiques (Grays - Over 200 Antique Dealers) Which has a few little stands with some interesting stuff. I did notice the odd fake though so be careful...
Sadly, Blunderbuss Antiques ( in London's West End ) closed just a few weeks ago - although expensive, they sold very good militaria. One of the best, and very few shops remaining, is Target Arms at 165 Lordship Lane, London SE22 8HX ( telephone : 0208 693 4211 ). They do not charge 'stupid' prices. Over the years, I have bought some outstanding items from this shop....
You may want to try the militaria market at Camden Passage which is held every Saturday morning. The address is: The Mall, The Angel, Islington, London
Malcomb Gordon as a Militaria Shop located on Portabello Road. I don't know his addy but, I have bought fro him a few times over the years and acually got what I consider good deals. However, he does have fakes for sale but I do not believe that he is attempting to decieve anyone. Hope this helps? Best regards--Carl.
I used to go there a lot a few years ago, but currently it's surrounded in controversy - it closed for 'redevelopment' late last year and apparently hasn't reopened......
In that case, I will email The Armourer Magazine and inform them of their out of date militaria show venues list, as that is where I got the information from...
Yes - it's been going for years but there's been a fair bit of discussion on other forums...I need to get along there and take a look one of these weekends to see what's going on....
