Your collection, in good hands

At Bruno Mado Medals we have spent 25 years trading in original military orders, medals and decorations from Barcelona. If you have a collection, an inherited medal group or a few single pieces you wish to sell, we offer two options.

Two ways to sell

Sell on our website

Fixed commission, no intermediaries

We list your pieces on brunomadomedals.com in front of our international collector base. Before any piece is listed it goes through the same quality and originality examination as the rest of our catalogue.

Best if you are not in a hurry and prefer each piece to find its buyer.

We buy your collection

Direct purchase

After valuation and appraisal

We study the pieces, value and appraise them, and make you an offer for the collection. No waiting and no listings.

What to send us

Good photographs and everything you know about the pieces. The more information you give us, the more precise our answer will be.

  • Front and back of every piece, sharp, in natural or diffused light and without direct flash.
  • Maker marks, hallmarks and stamps; pins, catches and rings.
  • Ribbons, medal bars, cases and original boxes, if you still have them.
  • Documents: award certificates, service records, pay books, Soldbuch or Wehrpass, period photographs.
  • Provenance: who the pieces belonged to and how they came to you.

Do not clean or polish your medals

And do not split up groups or the documents that go with them: original condition and provenance are part of their interest.
