US VS AUCTION HOUSES & DEALERS
How We Compare to Other WW2 Memorabilia Buyers
Auction houses like Hermann Historica, Rock Island Auction, and Julia's are legitimate options for rare, high-value pieces — but they charge 20–35% in buyer's and seller's premiums, and the process takes months. Local antique dealers rarely specialize in militaria and typically offer 30–50 cents on the dollar. We pay more because we want the pieces for our own collections, not to flip them.

| Auction house | 20–35% | 2–6 months | Varies |
