The importance of military artifacts

The wars of our past, as well as those of present day, are often so tremendously terrible that the stories of those who endured them are never told.

As most of us are privileged enough to not ever experience war, these stories must be told so that we may begin to understand war. These stories enable us to appreciate the depth of human achievement that is so commonly forged in the field of combat by otherwise ordinary people. These stories also allow us to begin to grapple with the extent of human suffering caused by war - a critical and humbling lesson for us all.

These stories are rarely recorded in written or verbal form. Thus, the leftover military equipment of long-forgotten conflicts may be the only remnant of lost tales of heroism, bravery, sacrifice, selflessness and honour.

Our job is to recover and record these lost stories.

Decades of experience

The importance of military artifacts

Based in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada, we have bought and sold military artifacts across the world for nearly 20 years. We are passionate historians, and having served in the army ourselves, we understand the importance of preserving the stories of service and sacrifice on which our modern society has been built.

Our extensive accumulated experience from many years of buying and selling military artifacts has given us an industry-leading understanding of the global market for military antiques. As a result, only the highest quality military artifacts pass through our hands. We regularly supply antiques to museums across the globe.

The internet is saturated with an abundance of confusing pricing information for all antiques. If you have an item, the internet will tell you that it is worth $5, but will also tell you that it is worth $15,000. Websites such as eBay and other private dealers will have seemingly the same item for sale at shockingly different prices.

The key to finding out what your item is worth is simple: Experience. The unfortunate truth is that you will only ever know exactly what your item is worth after you've seen the same or similar items sell repeatedly over a long period of time. That's where we come in.

With an extremely precise understanding of the market trends for thousands of different military artifacts, we know what items are worth. Thus, we can pay the most accurate and fair prices for your items. No hassles.
