About Pike Medals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience. Expertise. A Passion for History.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

OUR STORY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Pike Medals, we believe that every medal tells a story. Behind each award lies an individual, their service and a piece of history that deserves to be remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built upon decades of collecting experience and a genuine passion for military history, Pike Medals specialises in buying, selling and researching British military, police and historical medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our knowledge has developed through years of collecting, researching and studying medals, supported by over 25 years of membership of the Orders and Medals Research Society (OMRS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From individual medals to complete collections, our aim is simple: to offer knowledgeable, honest and personal service while helping preserve the history behind every award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUR EXPERTISE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Specialist knowledge. A wider understanding of medals and their history.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Pike Medals, our expertise covers a broad range of military, police and historical medals and decorations, supported by decades of collecting experience and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have particular specialist knowledge of British military and police medals, World War awards, South African medals and medals awarded to members of the Essex Regiment. However, our knowledge extends well beyond these areas, encompassing medals and decorations from different periods, campaigns, services and countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are looking to identify a medal, establish its authenticity, research a recipient, understand its historical significance or obtain an informed valuation, we aim to provide knowledgeable and straightforward advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also recognise that every collection is different. From a single inherited medal to an extensive collection built over many years, we approach each enquiry with the same care, attention and respect for the history involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A PERSONAL APPROACH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Pike Medals, we believe that buying, selling and researching medals should be a straightforward and enjoyable experience. We pride ourselves on offering a friendly, knowledgeable and personal service, whether you\u2019re an established collector or someone discovering the history behind a family medal for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand the sentimental and historical importance that medals can hold, and every enquiry is treated with the care and attention it deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
