Here are a few examples from film and TV from an auction lot sold a few years ago. The CP1 is from the classic Dad’s Army series. CP standing for Croft and Perry the show’s writers.

Before collecting any thing ,good reference books research research research make contact with other collectors and look at their items
Apart from militaria I also collect to one artist and spent a couple of years looking at his works before parting with any cash May Save costly mistakes. but all collectors make mistakes no matter how experienced My main comments were directed at the photos of the home guard items in Tim’s post David Last edited by 49lassiepen; 29-03-24 at 09:23 AM. |
