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
