    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....:cool:

    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    In that case, I will email The Armourer Magazine and inform them of their out of date militaria show venues list, as that is where I got the information from...:confused:

    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....:confused:
