The story begins with a flyer advertising international auctions, listing Victoria Cross values at $150,000 Canadian dollars and Distinguished Flying Cross prices at $600. Dave explains his skepticism, noting how the real auction values of medals like the Victoria Cross can reach half a million pounds. This sets the stage for a unique day of waiting, watching, and hoping to protect fellow collectors while also keeping an eye on a competitor’s dealings. The atmosphere is both lighthearted and tense, with moments of pacing on the sidewalk, meeting neighbors and dogs, and even expecting the police to arrive after the dealer threatened to call them. No police ever came, but the experience itself carried lessons in patience and persistence.

The real highlight comes when two elderly gentlemen approached with a military medal from the First World War. They brought a British 1914-15 Star awarded to Lieutenant AJG Denny of the East Yorkshire Regiment. This piece wasn’t accompanied by the full group of medals, but it was still an authentic, properly engraved officer’s medal with great historical significance. Military medals like this tell a story far beyond their metal and ribbon, linking directly to the men who fought in battles such as Gallipoli.

Dave offered the gentlemen a fair price, explaining the realities of buying and selling military medals. Collectors understand that medals have both monetary and historical value, and transparency in purchasing is crucial. While the medal might retail for around $120, he paid $60, ensuring that both sides walked away satisfied. He also shared how the miniatures in the group were already in his collection, so his offer reflected honest evaluation rather than inflated promises. The two men had even checked his website beforehand, showing how connected today’s militaria world is between physical and digital platforms.

Further research revealed that Lieutenant Denny later transferred to the Royal Engineers and served at Gallipoli. Surviving the war, his service connects directly to one of the most important and tragic campaigns of World War I. This adds another layer of depth to the medal’s story and highlights why collectors value not only the physical medal but the history it carries. Military history collectors often seek medals tied to major battles, and Gallipoli is a campaign that resonates deeply in both British and Commonwealth history.

What makes this video special is the balance between the thrill of the hunt and the calm of the day itself. Even though it might have been a “wasted” Sunday in terms of business, it became a meaningful story about collecting, ethics, and enjoying community. Meeting neighbors, greeting dogs, and sitting in the sun made the day enjoyable, while the unexpected medal find turned it into something memorable. Collectors know that sometimes the best finds happen when you least expect them.

The video also gives insight into the modern military antiques market. Prices, dealer rivalries, auction rumors, and real human interactions all come together here. For anyone passionate about military antiques, WW1 medals, or the ethics of buying and selling, this story provides an inside look that’s both entertaining and educational.
