Airborne Forces Militaria | Collectors Showcase

We're delighted to add a new video to our 'Collectors Showcase' series! This time, we met with militaria dealer and enthusiast, Les Martin, to speak about his fantastic collection of British Airborne Forces Militaria.
Our thanks to Les for speaking to us and for allowing us to film and share his wonderful collection!
Please note the initial flickering at the start of the video does stop from 03:43, this wasn't noted during filming and our attempts to remove it in the editing process were unsuccessful. Nevertheless, we hope you persevere and enjoy!
If you enjoyed this video, please do give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more videos like this, featured lots and auction updates... Thanks for watching.

Had the honour of looking at part of Les's collection "hands on" at Stoneleigh thanks to our mutual friend Dave Seeney. Truly wonderful collection of national importance!

It certainly is. We were thrilled to be able to view it too!

‘Materialy ‘. Zeszyt 9 Historia, Polskiego Znaku Spadochronowego by Jan Lorys. Out of print, and expensive if you can find one. Polish with English translation.
Soft cover, wasn’t published in hardcover. Just google the details above and you’ll see the book.
