The most exciting militaria pieces brought to you by Edgar Clin.

Edgar Clin has always been deeply fond of History yet the appeal for militaria came later on when he started wandering in the Musée de la Légion d'honneur in Paris as a youngster. The discovery of this hidden museum full of medals, decorations and jewels of chivalry, military and civil orders was the real starting point of his passion.

Edgar’s regular visits to Hôtel Drouot and the Musee de la Legion d'honneur trained his eye to differentiate between genuine and fake items, old pieces and modern reproductions. His five years of experience in the art market allow him to understand and assess the real value of items that he comes across.

What he enjoys most are Russian imperial awards and militaria items pre-1920, as well as memorabilia from the Napoleonic era.

Edgar loves the modern digital aspect of Catawiki, as well as the strong team spirit that exists here. It is a great blend of experts who are also collectors and share the same interest and passion as potential bidders.

His focus is making sure that all items are valued properly yet quickly and displayed nicely through appealing auctions. To offer a positive experience to all users, Edgar treats them as courteously as possible and is proactive and responsive to any needs or inquiries.
