Medals and Militaria

Sell Medals and Militaria at Auction

The specialists and consultants in our Medals and Militaria department have the expertise to value campaign medals and decorations, antique firearms, bladed weapons, military uniforms, cap badges and trench art.

RWB Auctions is based in Royal Wootton Bassett, a town known for its military connections. The way the community honoured fallen soldiers, repatriated from Iraq and Afghanistan was acknowledged with royal patronage in 2011. At RWBA we are proud to employ several ex-service personnel and boast strong ties with local regiments.

The Medals and Militaria department brings together expertise in a wide range of conflicts from the Crimea through to the Cold War as well as recent operations. Our specialists carefully document provenance and undertake in-depth research to uncover the stories of gallantry and sacrifice that are so important to collectors.
