The UK's premier magazine for militaria collectors

The January/February edition of the Armourer covers just about every aspect of militaria collecting. For the medal collector there is an article by Peter Duckers on a rare Peninsular War award, Jon Mills’ series on Home Front collecting continues with a look at the wartime WVS, while Flying Clothing expert David Farnsworth takes an in-depth look at the Mae West.

A new series on collecting QSA medals starts in this issue and other highlights include a rare Flintlock Pike Musket, the varied WW2 helmets used by the Finnish army, a Japanese airborne raider's sword, some wonderful pictures of Kitchener's volunteers in the early days of the Great War...and much more.

The Amourer is the place to look for militaria fair dates in the UK and Europe. Check out the "Under the Hammer" pages for military auction previews, plus there is our unique picture and price guide to militaria sold at arms fairs around the country, A Fair Day's Work.

If you are looking to buy or sell militaria, take a look at our sister website E-MILITARIA.NET the website for militaria classified adverts.
