Medal group auctions: campaign and gallantry medals, searched at once

A named medal group, correctly attributed to the soldier, sailor or airman who earned it, is worth far more than the same medals unattributed, and research into a recipient's service record can turn a modest set of campaign medals into a genuinely significant historical piece. Groups range from common WWI trios to scarce gallantry awards, and completeness, originality of the ribbon mounting, and research potential all drive value.

Why medal group lots get missed

General estate auctions frequently list a medal group simply as "war medals" without transcribing the recipient's name and number from the rim, so a group with real research potential or a scarce gallantry award can sit unrecognised in a listing that never surfaces without checking every platform.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search a recipient's surname, a regiment, a medal type like "Military Medal" or "DSO," or "medal group" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "medal group": genuine named WWI and WWII campaign and gallantry medal groups, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the regiments or names you research

Save a search (a surname, a regiment, a medal type, or "medal group" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay and NumisBids, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching medal lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how medal collectors actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and any applicable taxes included) is always in front of you.
