The Rifles Collection, as the  Regimental Museum of The Rifles, is always keen to acquire new items relating to The Rifles. However, we understand that sometimes these items have a monetary value outside of the Regiment, such as paintings and medals. This can sometimes make the choice between donating an item to the museum or selling it on for cash, a difficult decision. However, the museum can offer far more than these two options. With more resources available to possibly purchase these times, loaning and donating are not the only options open to you.

1. We can take the item on loan for a set number of years, giving the public the chance to view a key part of the Regiment’s history, before returning it to the owner. Your ownership of the item is not affected in any way.
2. If the owner definitely wants to sell the item and we think it is a worthwhile item for the museum, we can offer to purchase the item through applying for grants and fundraising to its correct assessed value. This would take us usually a few months to raise the necessary funds, but the item would be well cared for and maintained for perpetuity for the public to view and learn more about.

We can also discuss customised options suitable for each object and owner, so please do not hesitate to contact us.
