Payment may be made by personal cheque. It can also be made by Credit Card, but only through the PayPal system. This is both safe and secure, and there are no additional costs to the buyer for paying by this method.

If you simply require a casual, off-the-cuff valuation, this is a service that cannot be provided without seeing the item at first hand, and you would therefore be best advised to approach a local dealer or auction house in your area.

If you have a medal or a collection of medals that you do wish to sell, then your call or e-mail is welcomed, but please note that an offer cannot be made without seeing and examining the item(s). Thank you.
