The Road to Enlightenment

 

2007 marks our tenth year in the
Militaria business.

Over the last decade, we've made
many friends and we'd like to take
this opportunity to thank them - for
their friendship, custom and support.

We have always endeavoured to offer
a level of service some might describe as "old-school" - and we have no problem with that! We source the best quality items available and offer them at honest, sensible prices. This policy seems to have been the right one - we are still dealing with people today who we dealt with when we first started out. We've supplied items to many different organisations, including :

The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester
The Library Theatre, Manchester
Oldham Coliseum
BBC Television
Granada Television

Best of all, we just love meeting people who share our interest and enthusiasm. Whether at our retail outlet or at various shows/fairs etc., we've met some fascinating people - even a celebrity or two (including David Dickinson from BBC TV's "Bargain Hunt" and Dianne Modahl from Granada TV)

 

 

For customers in the north west of England (or from even further afield- we're always pleased to see you!) our retail outlet is open on Sundays and Mondays.

Our opening hours are 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM (we are open Bank Holidays) and we can be found at :

The New Cavern

Failsworth Mill features many trader units which sell everything from antiques, furniture and fireplaces to the more esoteric collectables (Elvis memorabilia, posters and artwork, records and CDs etc.) There's also a pleasant cafe (the breakfasts are particularly recommended.)

With good WC facilities and ample free parking its a great place for a family visit, having something for almost everybody. Do please note, however, that not all units open on all Bank Holidays.

 

Our retail stock typically includes the following :

Swords and Knives Bayonets Medals Cap badges Watches Helmets Gas masks Books Nazi memorabilia Rings & Jewellery

Radios Home-front items Jerry cans Flying jackets Trench art Ammo tins Compasses Binoculars

De-acts & Replicas Webbing Grenades WWII items 40s music Videos Cam-nets Postcards

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also offer a full range of militaria-related services including :

Hire facilities
We can offer a full range of clothing, equipment and period items for rental - ideal for theatrical productions, reconstructions, themed events or straightforward fancy dress use.

and

Medal Mounting
We offer a high-quality service with excellent craftsmanship and the finest materials. Because we understand the sentimental value of such items, we insist on the most secure mountings - we can also arrange for display units etc. to show off the awards in the best way possible.

Also, please note that we are always interested in buying interesting or rare items - especially those in good condition - and will pay a good, honest price for the right piece. We pride ourselves in sourcing items for clients so we are always looking - please contact us if you have something you think we may be interested in so we can discuss things.
