Militaria
Rhodesian Militaria This site is for both collectors and people that are interested in Rhodesian militaria. Its purpose is to explain the difference between genuine Rhodesian items and the fakes and copies. Covered on this site are the ones that are the rarer, and the ones that tend to be the more expensive to buy. These are predominantly items from the Selous Scouts, 'C' Squadron SAS, RLI, RAR, and the Greys Scouts. Also covered are some of the more faked items other than from these units.

Be Warned: Not all web sites are what they seem, and you may find yourself on a web site being run unscrupulously, and exploiting the natural nostalgia we have for our lost Rhodesia. There are a lot of these "Rhodesian" commercial web sites, and a few are not sound. Some lend themselves an aura of respectability by linking their web sites together.

The Flame Lily Foundation, a famous and long standing organisation that looks after the interests of Rhodesians finds itself under attack from them, and its logo copied or imitated.

Please do not hesitate to advise the web master if you find a suspect site in the military context or on this page.

We have taken the decision to not provide links to web sites about which we have concerns, or that have aims that conflict with ours, or that object to us.
