What military reference books do you stock?

Our reference section includes identification guides for badges, medals, edged weapons, and firearms. Key titles cover British Army cap badges, medal ribbons, bayonet patterns, and unit numbering systems. These are essential tools for collectors identifying and valuing items.

Which reference books are best for beginner collectors?

For beginners, we recommend starting with a general badge reference like Westlake's guide to British Army cap badges, a medal reference covering the orders of wear, and an Osprey Men-at-Arms title covering your period of interest. These provide the foundation for informed collecting.
