Where can I get my pieces valued for free?

How it works, in four steps

  1. 1

    Photograph what you have

    On your phone, exactly as it is. Front, back, and any mark or number you can see. Don't clean or polish anything — the patina is part of the value.

  2. 2

    We look at it and tell you

    Whether it is original or a reproduction, and what condition it is in — all from your photos. You usually hear back from us the same day.

  3. 3

    You get a firm offer

    Not a rough guess but a firm figure, worked out from what German dealers and auction houses get for comparable pieces. Say no and that is that: nothing to send back, nothing to explain.

  4. 4

    You are paid on the spot

    Cash in hand if we come to you; bank transfer as soon as we have checked the piece if you post it. Larger collections we come and see in person, anywhere in Germany, and you are paid on the day.

You don't need to know what it is or have anything ready. One phone photo, exactly as the piece is, and we'll tell you what it is and what it is worth. Free and with no obligation.

What counts as militaria?

What we buy and what it is worth

Pieces made between 1945, from a single medal to an entire collection. If you don't know which category yours falls into, send it anyway: identifying it is part of the job.

Orders and decorations

Crosses, breast stars, bars

  • Austro-Hungarian Order of Franz Joseph: the neck cross on its red ribbon and the breast star, each in its original case.

What we pay

Our guide buying prices (as of September 2026). The final price depends on condition, maker and whether the piece can be documented; this is not a commitment to buy.

What we look at in these pieces

The markings. Maker's stamps, batch numbers, hallmarks — on the suspension ring or pin of an order, inside the rim of a helmet, on the ricasso of a blade. A reproduction rarely gets them right.

What about East German (DDR) orders and badges? They have their own collectors' market too, usually at lower prices than pieces up to 1945. Send them along with the rest: we value the whole group.

What we don't buy

No firearms, no ammunition, no replicas or reproductions. If you are unsure whether something is original, send it anyway: identifying it is part of the free valuation.

What is yours worth?

Send us your photos

You don't need to know what it is or have anything ready. One phone photo, exactly as the piece is, and we'll tell you what it is and what it is worth. Free and with no obligation.

  1. What do you have?

    Tick one or several. If you don't know what it is, tick that too.

  2. Photos (optional)

    Front, back and any mark or number you can see. For a helmet, the liner too.

    No photos to hand right now? Send anyway and we'll ask for them later.

  3. How should we contact you?

    Email or phone is enough — one of the two.

    How would you like us to reply?

Free, no obligation, and handled discreetly.

We use your details only to answer your enquiry. We don't pass them on and we don't sign you up to anything.

How do I tell a genuine Iron Cross from a copy?

The four things we check before naming a figure

You don't need to know any of this — that's what the photos are for. But since this is where we look, it's worth photographing the inside and the markings too.

Original or reproduction?
  • Inside the helmet: leather liner, drawstring and the wearer's name written by hand.

    The inside

    Liner, chinstrap, rivets. That is where real wear shows, and where the name of the man who wore it is sometimes still written.

  • Two brass and steel fuzes, their clockwork on view.

    The markings

    Maker's stamps, batch numbers, hallmarks — on the suspension ring or pin of an order, inside the rim of a helmet, on the ricasso of a blade. A reproduction rarely gets them right.

  • The same helmet against the light: the curve of the steel and the side rivet.

    The patina

    How the metal and the paint have aged. Faked rust does not behave like sixty years in a cupboard.

  • Two helmets in camouflage covers, the original cloth still fitted.

    The consistency

    Whether every part comes from the same period and belongs together. A great many groups are assembled from loose pieces.

Three things before you touch anything

  1. 1

    Don't break up the group

    A complete group from the same owner is worth more than the pieces sold separately. Papers and photographs prove where the rest came from, and that lifts the price of everything else.

  2. 2

    Don't clean and don't restore

    Rust and patina are part of the value. A well-meant polish just before a sale has turned more than one collector's piece into scrap metal.

  3. 3

    Photograph the inside and the markings

    Liners, maker's stamps, numbers and hallmarks. That is where you see whether a piece is original, and it is what lets us give you a figure instead of "it depends".

If a pistol, a rifle or ammunition turns up in the estate, report the find to the local firearms authority or the police — as an heir you have statutory deadlines for doing so. Deactivated weapons also need official certification; we don't check that and we don't touch it.

Photograph the inside and the markings as well — that is what lets us tell you whether it is original.

What you ask us on WhatsApp

Frequently asked questions

Your question isn't here? Ask us directly.

+34 665 164 779WhatsApp

Why do you have a Spanish phone number?

Because the house is in Madrid and that is where the collection is kept. German is still the working language: part of the family is German and lives in Spain. You write in German and you get the valuation in German. The simplest way is WhatsApp to +34 665 164 779. For a whole collection, we come to you in Germany.

Where can I sell Second World War militaria?

Directly to us: send photos on WhatsApp to +34 665 164 779, we value them free of charge and we buy anywhere in Germany. No consignment, no months waiting for an auction result — if we agree, you are paid straight away: cash in person, bank transfer by post.

Is it legal to sell Wehrmacht items?

Yes. Trading in historical originals is legal in Germany. What the law governs is the public display of certain symbols (§ 86a StGB), which is why we handle photos containing such symbols discreetly and document every purchase privately and properly.

How does the valuation work?

You send us photos on WhatsApp — ideally front and back, plus any stamps or markings. We check first whether it is original or a reproduction, then the condition. Then we give you a realistic market value. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Do you buy single pieces?

Yes. From one medal to a complete collection. A single piece gets the same care as an entire estate — and for a larger collection we come to you in person, anywhere in Germany.

How and when do you pay?

As soon as we have agreed a price: cash if we meet in person, bank transfer if you post it — right after we have checked the piece. You are not waiting for an auction or for a buyer to turn up.

What about pieces bearing prohibited symbols?

We buy those too. § 86a StGB prohibits the public display of certain symbols, not the sale of historical originals to collectors. You don't need to cover or alter anything: the valuation happens privately on WhatsApp, and collection and settlement are handled discreetly and documented.

Where can I sell East German (DDR) orders and badges?

East German decorations have their own collectors' market as well, usually at lower prices than pieces up to 1945. If they turn up in an inherited lot, send them along with everything else: we value the whole group and tell you what each piece actually is.

What if it turns out to be a reproduction?

We tell you, and it costs you nothing. A good share of what we are offered turns out to be a reproduction, which is exactly why it is worth having it looked at before selling blind. We also don't buy firearms or ammunition.

Row of helmets

A row of helmets: sand, hand-painted camouflage and factory green.

Send the photos and we'll tell you what you have

Free valuation, no obligation. If it turns out to be a reproduction, we'll say so just the same, and it costs you nothing.
