What Is Your Militaria Worth?

Here, guide prices come first: market values drawn from comparable sales by German specialist dealers, broken down by item and condition. The actual price depends on the individual piece — the tables give you the order of magnitude, not a guarantee.

How the Guide Prices Are Determined

Every figure on this page and on the individual value pages comes from real sale and asking prices at German specialist dealers and auction houses — not from a price list we made up. What actually pushes the value up or down is set out on each individual page: condition, accompanying items (award document, case, issue packet), maker's marks, and whether the piece is original or a later reproduction.

The Most Common Pieces

For the full breakdown with condition grades and authenticity markers: choose the matching item below, or send us photos directly — then you'll get a concrete figure instead of a range.

Original or Fake?

Reproductions exist of almost every piece on this page. The key things to check are listed on each individual item's page; as a general rule, maker's marks, the nature of the material and the style of stamping reveal more than appearance alone. If in doubt, we check the piece from your photos — free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Old Medals Worth?

It depends heavily on the decoration, its class, condition and accompanying items. Mass-issued decorations like the Mutterkreuz are usually in the low double-digit range, while rare medals reach several hundred or thousand euros.

How Do I Get an Exact Figure Instead of a Range?

Send us photos via WhatsApp — front, back, marks and any accompanying items. Within 24 hours we'll give you a concrete figure, free of charge and with no obligation.

Does a Piece Lose Value If I Clean It?

As a rule, yes. Patina and ageing are part of the value; a well-meant cleaning attempt has already turned many a collector's piece into scrap. Don't clean anything before we've seen it.
