Soldiers Past Military Antiques is a sole proprietorship based in Florida. The owner is a retired US Army officer. He has been collecting militaria for over 40 years. He lived in Germany for nine years, and during that time he had the opportunity to meet other collectors and German veterans and study many original items.
Soldiers Past is an internet mail order business. We don’t have a store operation. We have buyers and researchers in Europe who attend major auctions and militaria shows, plus make purchases in their local areas. What all this means to you – the buyer – is that we have the ability to acquire quality militaria from a number of sources, while maintaining a low overhead. That allows us to pass on some savings to you.
Our goal is to offer you a line of quality, original, affordable militaria. We specialize in Third Reich items but will also offer US and other countries’ militaria, especially from the Civil War era and British empire of the 1800s. We concentrate on normal combat awards and items that will help new collectors build their collections or add items to seasoned collections.
