MILITARIA: BOMB DISPOSAL
Tasked with one of the most daring and dangerous jobs of the war, Britain’s courageous bomb disposal teams have attracted a specialised group of collectors
Wartime bomb disposal equipment included items such as this 1941-dated conspicuous warning sign that was positioned to keep the public away from the danger zone. These dramatic signs fetch around £350 today, but watch out for modern reproductions
