Collectors are a thought to be an eccentric bunch. This is far from the truth as most collectors are very knowledgeable of their collections. The knowledge of the boer war memorabilia is second to none. This gives value in its history and heritage. Knowing the past to protect the future is one of the few things that can be passed onto the next generation. As the collection probably will. Collections are there to last and to be cherished by their owners. Passing through time only taking its history a day further at a time. But it was there once upon a time, when the story began.
History is made from resolutions to the revolutions. Conflicts and battles, politics and societies. What is left of these historical events. In our case it is recorded through items made with a purpose. The items in question are rhodesian war medals, weaponry, and military badges which have used some history attached to them.
Military Memorabilia such as medals, badges, insignia, uniforms, clothing, books and anything to do with military paraphernalia. These effects must have pertinence to the continent of Africa. All collectors are encouraged to communicate with us to create an exhibition or should they wish to trade then it can be arranged. The medals range from the mid 19th Century up until the late 20th Century. Our world today was shaped through battles and bravery. One must appreciate the foolish wars and what they have given us.
The website is not only for memorabilia such as items from the wars and war zones, but also military literature. Books and pamphlets that have been used to educate soldiers. Miscellaneous items for gifts and such including the out of the ordinary bugle, mess tokens and badges. A true find for any collector.
The African Military Connection will collect, trade and auction goods found and put up. The turn out has been increasing in the 12 years that it has been running. Now with the internet any buyer from anywhere in the world could make a contribution. An excellent innovation into the future for the antique collectors. A collector is someone who knows how to honour the past and does not forget the cost of the future.
