Where can I sell militaria in Stuttgart?
Stuttgart and the surrounding region have antique dealers and auction houses that also take in militaria — usually as one category among many, not as a specialism. It is always worth comparing prices before selling, and that is exactly what we recommend.
Greater Stuttgart is richer ground for us than many people think: Ludwigsburg was the garrison town of the Württemberg army, and correspondingly, a great deal has survived in the houses of the region. We buy across the whole surrounding area — from the Neckar valley across the Filder to the edge of the Black Forest.
Our offer differs from the traditional trade in one respect: we buy for our own collection — with no dealer's mark-up. A shop has to factor in its later resale margin when it buys. We don't have to, because we keep the pieces.
What we buy in Stuttgart
Historical pieces up to 1945: medals and decorations, uniforms, helmets, Blankwaffen (edged weapons) such as sabres and daggers, documents, photo albums, equipment — right up to military vehicles and motorcycles.
Württemberg was a kingdom with its own army and its own honours system until 1918. The Württembergischer Militärverdienstorden (Order of Military Merit), the Friedrichs-Orden (Order of Frederick) and the Orden der Württembergischen Krone (Order of the Württemberg Crown) turn up regularly in Swabian Nachlass estates, usually alongside Prussian crosses from the First World War. Whoever inherits such a box often holds several different states in their hands without realising it — and that is exactly what we sort out in the valuation.
What we do not buy: firearms and replicas. A significant share of what we're offered is reproduction — checking for originality is therefore always part of the valuation.
How the 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'll pay.
- Cash payment, at the agreed price — handed over directly at our appointment in Stuttgart. For individual pieces sent by post, we pay by bank transfer immediately after inspection.
To be upfront: we are not based in Stuttgart
We are a Spanish collector's house based in Madrid, and we buy across the whole of Germany. Distance makes no difference to the valuation — it is done from your photos. For collections and extensive Nachlass estates, we travel to Stuttgart and complete the purchase at your home, discreetly and without you having to transport anything. We combine appointments in Ludwigsburg, Esslingen, Reutlingen or Heilbronn 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 (Germany's Criminal Code) — which is why we treat photos containing such symbols in confidence 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 afterwards not to sell.
Do I need to know what the pieces are worth?
No. Most enquiries come from heirs seeing the holdings for the first time. Just send photos of everything, including papers and photo albums — the value is often found where you'd least expect it.
Do you also buy complete Nachlass estates in Stuttgart?
Yes, especially those. For complete Nachlass estates we arrange an appointment in Stuttgart, view everything on site and, if you wish, pay in cash immediately.
