This site has items for those interested in historic arms & military antiques, including war souvenirs taken from defeated enemies.  These objects hold the interest of collectors today for the same reasons that our servicemen took them during and after the war: they are historic artifacts.  Please do not confuse collector interest in these war trophies for any sympathy with the regimes that created them.

Collectors are on the whole quite keenly aware of the humanitarian tragedies involved in any armed conflict, and of the events before and during WWII in particular.  They buy and sell artifacts from this era in the tradition of their fathers and grandfathers who served and collected souvenirs themselves, not to honor the enemy, but in celebration of his defeat.
