Memories of over "50" years of International Dealing & Collecting.
***1976 was the first year I flew to America on business some 45+ years ago I remember "Sailing" by Rod Stewart on the plane… Later seeing the Statue of Liberty & a Pam-Am aircraft flying overhead as I felt like I was in a movie.. TV Detective Kojak with Telly Savalas.
I walked towards "The Soldier Shop" in New York to Peter Hlinka…..
later flying to Buffalo NYS to see Chuck Scaglione and us driving to a Gun Show in Ohio with Bob Sevier…….
meeting American & German dealers…..so began my trips….
In those long far off days I had already met American Medal Dealer Sydney Vernon who along with the famous Author & dealer Norm Flayderman visited us at Format Coin & Medal Co Birmingham and later at Forman of Mayfair, Piccadilly, London.
My earlier Trips with my parents in early 1960's & later on my own included visits introducing me to Paris leading dealer; Charles Marchal plus the artful Charles Bouche at the Paris Flea Market & my beloved "Les Invalides" French Army Museum with its superb Napoleon & French 1st Empire display's…
Also trips to Schulmann's in Amsterdam Holland and the Brussels Army Museum in Belgium which had the largest French Napoleonic collection in the world as a result of the battle of Waterloo.
plus visits to Waterloo battlefield itself with its waxworks Museum, Domed building with Panorama life-size vista of the battle of Waterloo 1815,the Wellington Museum plus cafe's which displayed postcards and Waterloo relics on their walls…..to be cont….. TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK FEB 2023

Welcome to my website
Many visitors will be familiar
with my previous Forman's Guide Books since the 1980's plus my long established
status as an International Numismatic Expert.
However I am also interested in a broad spectrum of
historical subjects from Napoleon to the War in Vietnam I therefore decided to
write a handful of Books These will be published between 2021 and 2023.
This site is dedicated to my Books and is logically split
into two areas, Books & DVD-CD's For Sale and My Book Projects, the latter
being details of the books that I am currently working on.
If you would like to be kept informed on the progress
of new titles and expected publication dates please register your email address
(top left) and we will email you when any significant news breaks.
You will also notice (bottom left) our Latest News box where
you will find all the latest news and updates.
I hope you will enjoy browsing the site.

International Napoleonic Society)
