Default militaria shops in Sydney

Hi there,

I'm a new by to badge collecting, and a reasonably recent arrival in Sydney. Are there any decent militaria shops in Sydney. Travelling a wee bit to get to them isn't a problem. I managed to find I S Wright in central Sydney.


Cheers

IS Wright is about it in Sydney these days for militaria shops.

What badges are you collecting? Aussie ones?

Regards,

Mick

Hi Mick,

I thought that might be the case. I'm collecting Kiwi badges. Are there ever any militaria shows in Sydney?

Cheers
Roy

Only the Penrith Show.

I usually don't attend as it's a really long drive for me.

Good to know. I've got Oldham's kiwi price guide on it's way to me via post, so I'll have that as a reference. Of course it's in $NZ, so I'll have to do on the spot currency conversions!

If you are after some nice Kiwi badges, send a PM to vigilans.

He had some very nice ones for sale.
