First World War casualty medals for every day of the conflict, Wiltshire regimental honours, Naval General Service Medals, Albert Medals: these are just a few of the many categories that collectors choose as a focus in the militaria market.
Sometimes, though, buyers have such wide-ranging tastes and interests that numerous conflicts or eras become their focus.
