About my Site: I specalise in recreating American and German Paratrooper Helmets from World War Two. This is my forte and I do it with a passion! Every helmet is a miniature work of art (customer quote!). I also sell German WW2 Militaria - 100% genuine. I love WW2 history and ensure I pass this knowledge on when recreating helmets or selling militaria!

The best wishes to all the coalition troops serving in distant lands, I hope that 2008 brings you home safely. Remember - 'God is Airborne'! If you want to listen to the D-Day landings radio broadcast then stay on this page and enable ActiveX. The radio controls are at the bottom of this page!

Complaints: I've had a few complaints that some of my helmets have been sold within the same day that they have been posted, thus others loose the chance of buying them! This is because I have a mailing list of regular customers who are pre-warned about them being posted. If you want to be pre-warned just click here and ask to be pre warned via Email!

Wanted: I require genuine WW2 USA Inland manufactured liners. The liner must be in good condition although the webbing can be in any condition. Please Email me if you have such a liner!

Selling: I try and specialise in genuine German Fallschirmjäger items. There is however a wide range of items available for sale on my site, as the German Paratroops used, in many cases, the same equipment and were awarded the same medals as other units. I specialise, therefore my range is small - but 100% genuine, unless stated very clearly! Click on the 'Stores' link to see what's for sale or take a look at the latest items added at the bottom of this page.

Buying: I buy mainly German Fallschirmjaeger items but I am also interested in buying other German WWII items.

I would also be interested in selling genuine German WW2 items on your behalf, please read the section below for more information! If you want more information on me buying your item then click on the 'Buying' link.

Third Party Sales: If you have an item to sell but you think that I or another dealer will only offer you the 'dealers' rate then read on! I offer a 'Third Party Sales' service. Basically this means I will try and sell your item via this site & online auction sites for a fraction of the cost of a standard auction. I take only 15% of the final price of the sold item! Have a look at the 'X-Sales' section if this interests you.

Information: I will ultimately try and bring you a full central database relating to genuine (and fake!), fallschirmjager items. This will vary from links to other sites and data posted by my own experiences over the years.This will help you to determine whether to purchase that item, either from my site or elsewhere. Click the 'Info' link to access information on your German Fallschirmjager Item.

The Team: This is a family run site, I collect Fallschirmjager and World War Two items and am UK based, I have family members who live in europe who are always on the look out for that exclusive item! My other relations help with the translations! It sounds large but I do this, mainly as a hobby so its pretty small scale but I like to think a specialised niche hobby!

In Memory: This site is dedicated to the men, women and children who have lost their lives in conflict throughout the ages. In particular the men of the airborne forces of all nationalities. Remember, the military item you purchase now will never be yours, you are merely the caretaker until passed onto another, so please treat it with respect.
