    Just curious as to where everyone buys there wwii items. There are many out there. I personally like collectortocollectormilitaria.com If any of you know Bob the owner, he is a good guy. If you havent been to his site, check it out. (Yes, as you see I have my own site, but it is more for buying items out of the woodwork, so im not trying to promote my own site )

    I buy from about 20 different dealers and those who I have a long buying relationship with. I buy from those who are always sold out of their new stuff within minutes or houres because of the feeding frenzy that goes on on their sites. You will undoubtedly know who these dealers are. A few I buy from include: Detlev Niemann - even though a scumbag from another site is constantly putting Detlev and his team down for no viable reason other than that he is a miserable creep-no not Detlev-but the other being I speak of.

    Also, I buy from Andre-Helmut (Kay) Janet, Diane, Karl, PAul, and ohers.

    mostly locally and preferably 1st hand from the farmer's attic. If not flea markets and antique dealers, sometimes internet.
