Dave,

Try the site's Marketplace for your Martini-Henry.

E-Bay is a favourite place for the medals.

Unless you know what you are looking for, and how much you are prepared to pay, I would be very cautious about buying medals on eBay. The price varies enormously according to which regiment he belonged to me and whether he was a casualty.

Sellers can give the impression a recipient he was present at an action when he was not.

Caveat emptor.
