About Adrian Forman

Since 1985 Adrian has authored several guide books on German Decorations and awards which have over the years become accepted as the International standard works on the subject.

His reputation as a leading International Numismatic Expert on European Decorations & Awards has been firmly established over the last 40 odd years; having been consulted many times by both Sotheby's & Christies of London for his expert opinion on his given subjects.

Opening a West End Shop on Piccadilly London in 1978 and later a Gallery in Shepherds Market Mayfair London, Adrian took many trips to the USA and Europe as well as going as far a field as Japan in 1981. By 1981-2 Adrian had introduced the first Special Third Reich colour connoisseur catalogues, which were issued worldwide offering a selection of rare decorations, awards & exotic militaria.

For a number of years now Adrian has resided in a Devon coastal fishing village, with his wife Lenice, to concentrate on writing several long term book projects. Resulting in at least 5 new books being released over the next few of years or so, with at least 5 more to follow by 2014.

In between writing his books Adrian still travels to the USA and Europe on book research trips in the hope of locating reference material including perhaps a handful of extremely rare or unique pieces, which are purchased then researched and photographed for future book projects before been offered for sale to his long established worldwide clientele.
