MILITARIA  IMPORTANT INFORMATION

MILITARIA, SPORTING GUNS, MEDAL, ETC.  -  REPRODUCTIONS

Owing to the large number of Third Reich and other uniforms and accoutrements being used for films, television and plays, it becomes increasingly difficult to ascertain the authenticity of certain pieces.  We catalogue all items as seen, and offer no guarantee as to their authenticity. The term “Bronze”, “Silver” and “Gold” refer to the grades in which medals, badges etc., were awarded and not to their composition.

As well as bidding in person, we encourage prospective buyers to bid via clarkeandsimpson.co.uk, the-saleroom.com or i-bidder.com or by leaving commission bids directly with the Auction Centre.

Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that any condition reports/image requests received after 11am on the Friday before the sale will be responded to. We will upload additional images to the website at regular intervals upon request.

It is the responsibility of any perspective bidder to view any lot in person and satisfy themselves as to the condition before making a bid.

Payment, Collection & Shipping:

NB. Some items will be “Face to Face” collection only.
Successful buyers will receive an invoice when the auction closes. We request that payment and collection of items purchased is undertaken by close of business the next working day following the auction.

Payment can be made by using the post-sale link provided through the-saleroom.com, by personal debit card or bank transfer.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD, BUSINESS DEBIT CARD OR CHEQUE.

For those buying through the online portals, we reserve the right to take payment on the third working day after the auction, if payment has not been received.

Specific attention is drawn to Paragraph 12 under our Terms & Conditions, which has been revised and will be rigidly enforced due to lack of storage space. Buyers will not be chased to collect their purchased lots during the 10 working day period and collection is solely the responsibility of the buyer. If it is unlikely that you will not be able to meet the collection window specified in Paragraph 12, please do not bid.

Clarke & Simpson Auctions do not provide a packing or shipping service and all buyers will need to make their own arrangements.
