Militaria Militaria artefacts are reproduced in significant numbers, in particular those from the World War II period and some may use original parts. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore must, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. We ask that interested bidders closely study the images provided and request additional images and condition reports to satisfy themselves to the authenticity and period of any particular items in the auction. Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to Condition 16 (Terms and Conditions) concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 ''information to buyers''.
