Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 A friend of mine will be flying to Beirut, Lebanon in about two weeks. Any idea of where to buy medals while there and if it is difficult to get them out of there? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Lukasz, I have visited Beirut a number of times in the past few years, most recently last July, and there are no shops with militaria of any kind for sale. I know an avid Lebanese Lebanon collector and he lives in Beirut and he is challenged to get anything. There used to be a collector /seller - mainly coins - in the south of Beirut (not now the safest of places) I met him with his bag of wares in his car on the Corniche - not an auspicious occasion, but from what I saw he had nothing special and all was infinitely over priced - I don't know even if he is still around. I do know of some good restaurants...... Kind regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thank you Owain for response. That is actually what I feared. My friend can also try his luck at one of the markets in town. The south of Beirut is not the best place to visit now, considering what is going on down there. Still would you PM me the seller's address if you have it? Kindest regards, Lukasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
