Militaria spans everything from campaign medal groups and regimental badges to WWII uniforms, field equipment and edged weapons, and it turns up in two very different places, dedicated militaria and medal specialists, and general house-clearance auctions where a deceased relative's collection is sold as an unsorted box lot. The specialist sales are watched closely; the general ones are where the value often hides.
A named campaign medal, a WWII uniform group, a trench-art piece or a regimental cap badge is just as likely to surface in a general auction as in a dedicated militaria sale, described only as "a box of military items" by a valuer who isn't a specialist. Checking every platform every day to catch these before someone else does is unrealistic for anyone with a day job.
Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. A search for "militaria," "WWII," "medal group," "trench art," a specific regiment, or "campaign medal" returns matching lots across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.
Real results for "militaria": 120 lots found in one search, from uniform items and field kit to WWII collectables.
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.
Good militaria lots don't come up often, so when they do, save a search (a conflict, regiment, medal type, or "WWII" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.
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 militaria lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.
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 VAT included) is always in front of you.
