Synopsis

Collecting militaria is a hobby that has grown enormously in recent years, spurred on especially by the burgeoning interest in the First and Second World Wars, and further fed by films, documentaries and re-enactments. The collecting scene has moved from the post-war army surplus stores to large dealers, international events and, above all, the internet.

Together with his writing and collecting interests, Arthur is the founder of www.collecting friends.com, an online community for collectors of toys, models and militaria. Resident - West Sussex Richard Ingram has been involved with the buying and selling of militaria for twenty years, and is an acknowledged authority on the subject. Having started collecting uniforms and ephemera, Richard joined Sabre Sales in the 1980s. His enthusiasm for showing militaria on 'active' display led to his involvement with the D-Day and VE Day 50th Anniversary celebrations.
