Foreword

 

Thank you for taking a  moment to learn exactly what GDB.com offer.

 

Most auctioneers and web based dealers are effectively wholesalers or middlemen.

 

What Makes German Dagger Buyers.com Any Different?

 

We host a permanent military exhibition, one which is enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year.

 

If we believe that an item or collection will improve our display we will pay for it accordingly.

 

We frequently outbid the collecting community to secure key exhibits, ones which will attract and fascinate visitors.

 

We are not always looking for a fast return on our investments. Ours is a vocation and lifelong project.

 

 Exhibits in this collection are our stock. Whether they sell today or next year is not crittical

Cultural Changes in the marketing of “Militaria”

 

The ease with which a professional website can now be built is revolutionizing the “Militaria” Industry.

 

Each day  “Collectors” realize their dreams by listing collections on their very own custom built websites.

 

What noticeable impact does this have?

 

 In many cases Militaria shows that were once a must for the collector are witnessing lower attendances :

 

Getting people through the gates is not the just the problem. The truth is that buyers have invariably spent

 

their monthly collecting budget “online” from the comfort of their own homes on their P.C.s.

 

Shows may eventually serve just to display and promote web site businesses, rather like trade fairs in other industries do .

 

 We still have a generation or two of technophobic dealers and collectors who will insure that militaria shows limp on..

 WW2buyer.com sell to a number of enthusiasts who do not own or have access to a computer .

So whilst the revolution is underway, traditional eye to eye trading continues at our store.

 

What can germandaggerbuyers.com offer?

 

Collectors who reject the increases in auctioneers commission rates come to us to enjoy

 

the confidential disposal their collections.

 

Access to the internet is provided for vendors who visit our store so true market values can be easily established.

 

An average collection of  ten daggers can typically be sold to us at the correct trade price in just twenty minuets.

 

 German Dagger buyers.com has embraced changes by liaising with  major ethical websites and undertaking much of their buying freeing them to focus on the marketing.

 

By investing in our own Museum displays our store now attracts thousands of visitors who are happy to pay a little more for our researched guaranteed original merchandise.

The Trade In Nazi Artifacts .

The high values of Third Reich period “Miltaria” indicate that this market is strong.

Helmets frequently sell at four figure sums,as do U-Boat Binoculars.Daggers etc

 

As the generation of WW2 veterans passes both Axis and Allied Memorabilia are enjoying

a rise in values. Themed video games insure, Hollywood, The history channel and the ever expanding reenactment culture perpetuate interest in the subject.

Sensationalism.

The hanging of swastika flags in one provincial auction house in 2012 was ether, a

 failure of sensitivity on the part of the auctioneer or an ill judged strategy to attract free

publicity?

Not surprisingly this and similar cases ferment debate over the morality the trade in

Militaria from mankinds dark past.
A debate which has permeated into the House of commons with some members of

parliament calling for a ban.

Newspaper coverage of these events and the decision to publish pictures of the

Swastikas enabled a far greater audience to be reminded and offended ?

A code of practice could  be introduced for Auctioneers and dealers in Third

Reich “Militaria”

Most enthusiasts would welcome a ban on reproduction flags,Mugs and fantasy badges,

Items aimed at the impressionable teenage market.

Distinctions should however be made between the items that are likely to upset,offend or to promote racism.

And innocent items of combat paraphernalia that serve to fascinate students of history.
Our site is dedicated to the buying of Militaria from the period 1914 – 1945. Our Historic Museum style store displays an impressive stock of veteran acquired souvenirs. We are amongst the most popular of permanent destinations for museum buyers and collectors. We are sole buyers and suppliers to one museum in Normandy France. It seems fitting for items to return to the theater they were plucked from and put back on display. Other customers include the most advanced collectors as well as  a couple of approved ethical, academic web sites.War trophies were returned from the western front by my Grandfather William(Bill) Mattey.These  have fueled my interest.Whilst combat paraphernalia is  unlikely to upset or offend. We unreservedly distance ourselves from the unregulated sale ofNazi artifacts and edged weapons online.Best regards David Mattey
