Send us photos via WhatsApp on +34 665 164 779. Within 24 hours you will receive a free valuation, and if we reach an agreement, we pay immediately. For larger collections we come and see them in person: we travel to you in Berlin, with payment in cash on the spot if you prefer.
Where can I sell militaria in Berlin?
In Berlin you have several options: specialist dealers with a shop, auction houses, and buyers like us, who value historical pieces from photographs and purchase them directly. Hardly any German city has as many outlets for militaria as Berlin — for you as a seller, that is an advantage, because you can compare offers. That is exactly what we recommend.
Our offer differs from the classic trade in one respect: we buy for our own collection — with no dealer's mark-up. A shop has to factor the later resale margin into what it pays. We do not, because we keep the pieces.
What we buy in Berlin
Historical pieces up to 1945: orders and decorations, uniforms, helmets, Blankwaffen (edged weapons) such as sabres and daggers, documents, photo albums, equipment — right through to military vehicles and motorcycles.
Berlin was the Prussian royal seat until 1918 and the capital of the Reich until 1945: this is where the ministries sat, and the Prussian guard regiments were stationed here and in neighbouring Potsdam. Accordingly, many Prussian decorations from before the First World War turn up in Nachlass collections in Berlin — the Roter Adlerorden (Order of the Red Eagle), the Kronenorden (Order of the Crown), long-service decorations — alongside pieces from both world wars. And because the city was divided for forty years after 1945, GDR medals and NVA (East German National People's Army) items also turn up frequently here; you are welcome to ask us about these too.
What we do not buy: firearms and replicas. A considerable proportion of what we are offered is reproduction work — checking for originality is therefore always part of the valuation.
How a sale works
- Photos via WhatsApp to +34 665 164 779 — two minutes, no obligation.
- Free valuation within 24 hours — we tell you whether the pieces are original and what we will pay.
- Payment in cash, at the agreed price — handed to you directly at the appointment in Berlin. If you send a single item by post, we pay by bank transfer immediately after inspection.
Frankly: we are not based in Berlin
We are a Spanish collectors' house based in Madrid, and we buy throughout Germany. Distance makes no difference to the valuation — it happens through your photographs. For collections and extensive Nachlass collections, we travel to Berlin and handle the purchase at your home, discreetly and without you having to transport anything. We combine appointments in Potsdam, the Havelland, or the rest of Brandenburg into the same trip.
On the legal side: trading in original pieces from before 1945 is legal in Germany. The public display of certain symbols is restricted under § 86a StGB (the German Criminal Code) — which is why we treat photographs showing such symbols confidentially and document the pieces strictly in private.
Frequently asked questions
What does the valuation cost?
Nothing. The WhatsApp valuation is free and non-binding — even if you decide against selling afterwards.
Do I need to know what the pieces are worth?
No. Most enquiries come from heirs who are seeing the items for the first time. Simply send photos of everything, including papers and photo albums — the value is often hidden where you would least expect it.
Do you also buy complete Nachlass collections in Berlin?
Yes, especially those. For complete Nachlass collections we arrange an appointment in Berlin, review everything on site, and pay immediately in cash if you wish.
