Why we deal in these objects
MGN Military Antiques deals in original military artifacts from the Second World War for their historical, educational and collecting value. These objects are offered to collectors, historians, researchers and museums for study and preservation.
Every helmet, uniform, document and piece of equipment was carried or used by a real person, in a real war that cost tens of millions of lives. We handle these objects as historical evidence, and we describe them with care, accuracy and respect for that history.
Symbols of the Third Reich
Some items, particularly those from Germany between 1933 and 1945, carry symbols of the Third Reich. These symbols are shown only because they are part of the original object and its historical record. We do not alter, hide or remove them, because doing so would change the historical evidence.
Their presence on this website does not mean that we approve of, support or promote the ideology, regime or actions they represent.
Where we stand
MGN Military Antiques firmly rejects National Socialism, fascism, racism, antisemitism and every other ideology built on hatred. We condemn the crimes of the Nazi regime, including the Holocaust and the persecution and murder of millions of innocent people.
We do not sell these objects as tributes, trophies or political statements. We will not do business with anyone who wants them to glorify, promote or spread extremist or hateful views, and we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any sale where we believe that is the intent.
Our customers are collectors, historians, veterans and their families, researchers and museums, people who share our belief that this history must be studied honestly, never celebrated.
Why preservation matters
We believe the history of this period, including its darkest chapters, must be remembered. Original objects tell that story in a way no textbook can. Preserving them, documenting them and keeping them in responsible hands helps future generations understand what happened, and why it must never happen again.
Laws in your country
Laws on owning, importing and displaying items with certain symbols vary by country. Buyers outside the United States are responsible for making sure that their purchase complies with the laws where they live.
