4. Bids are subject to the standard conditions of sale which are on display in the showroom and available on request. 
5. Payment must be received within 3 days of the sale and may be made in cash, by bank transfer, debit card or credit card (2% plus VAT charge). If you have registered to bid online, payment may be taken from your debit or credit card immediately following the Auction.

Bank transfers are acceptable and full details can be given upon request.

7. For goods left on our premises – whether paid for or not – for more than 5 days after the date of the sale, Townsend Auction Galleries reserves the right to charge £10.00 + VAT per lot per day storage. This applies to all types of objects whether big or small. In the event of storage charges accrued becoming in excess of the invoice total of the items, possession of the items will revert to Townsend Auction Galleries, and storage charges in excess of the invoice total will become payable to Townsend Auction Galleries. 
8. If you require postage and packing please contact the Auction rooms for details of recommended packers and shippers. 
9. Estimates and descriptions. The condition of items is not given in the catalogue. Buyers must satisfy themselves as to the condition of lots. We attempt to mention major restorations and alterations. The estimated selling price is a guide for the buyer, but is not to be taken as definite. Dimensions are given height before width. Purchasers are advised to take their own measurements to guard against any unseen catalogue error. 
10. Electrical Goods. Any lot with an electrical fitting must be checked by a qualified electrician before connecting to a mains electrical supply. Townsend Auction Galleries cannot be held responsible for any contravention of this condition (electrical lots are sold disabled as far as is reasonable, to discourage any unchecked use). 

Medal & Militaria Items - Reproductions.

Due to the large number of reproductions currently being produced for Film, TV, and Re-enactment, it is increasingly difficult to ascertain the authenticity of some items. Therefore we can offer no guarantee to their authenticity and are sold as seen. We recommend that prospective bidders satisfy themselves of an items authenticity before bidding. Further photographs can be supplied on request up to the day before the sale.
N.B. The terms 'gold', 'silver', and 'bronze' may refer to the award type rather than the type of metal.

Thank you for choosing Townsend Auction Galleries; we look forward to seeing you again soon.
