cjb4671 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have started buying miniatures and while I have not yet got any decent groups , (just acouple of pairs and single ones). I was wondering if this would be the correct place on GMIC to post pics and info about any I may get, if not please direct me to the correct place....I have been buying and selling anything and everything for 20 years and I collect militaria and then sell my collection and start on something new...I recently sold my last collection and have started buying miniatures and full size medals...

Mervyn Mitton Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 CJB - as Paddywhack said - any British Medals. Miniatures are often neglected as a field of collecting - although I have noticed that there is more interest in recent year, with the rising costs of full size groups.

cjb4671 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi, a nice couple of groups there guys the miniatures I'm buying are only british...I have been across the minefield of third reich collecting and I'm not going back!!! The cost factor is part of my reason plus I am limited for display space...And I think some of the bigger groups are attributable so an interesting form of research as well..I will post pics this evening of the couple I have....chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjb4671 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Miniatures purchased today from a car boot sale for £15 ....The 1914 trio appear to have been mounted together at some time but have been separated ..there is also a ww2 defence and war medal with the same residue from the mounting (see top of ribbon to victory medal) so it seems it was mounted as a group of 5.
