  • New Items directly from Germany

    We are offering a 25% off site wide coupon to the customer that gives us the best picking lead in Germany or any bordering country, whether it is a person, militaria show, flea market, store, etc...  Email us with your lead at kemilitaria@yahoo.com

    Over the next 2 months, we will be traveling around Europe.  Some of our inventory will remain in the U.S. with a colleague who will be shipping it on our behalf.  As always, we will ship orders as fast as possible but, while traveling, there are a number of factors that will slow us down as we will not have our supply of packaging materials, our internet connection will be sporadic, the list goes on.  We have noted in every item description whether it will ship from the U.S. or from Europe.  As we travel and pick up new items they will be added to the site. If you wish to buy an item and have us hold it to ship later, so you can see the new items we list and combine shipping at the end of the trip, just add it to your cart, make a note on your order, check out normally, and we will refund you the difference for combined shipping when it is time to ship out your package.  Shipping from Germany is done by weight so feel free to max out your order to the next flat rate.  We will post a cost by weight chart on every European listing along with each individual items packed weight so you can play with the numbers and get the most out of your shipping. 

    If there are items you would like us to pick up for you in Germany (original items, generic German stuff or food, etc...) please fill out our wish list here:

  • General update

    Things have calmed down here now that the SOS is well behind us.  We have added a few new products to the site, including original and reproduction items.  We are working on some new items but are mostly concerned with making more 8cm range tables.  We delivered about 8 range tables but have had trouble producing good ones since shutting the machine down to leave for the SOS.  Since then we have produced 6 unusable range tables for everyone good one, we are working to fix that and get the tables out to everyone that reserved one.

  • 8cm range tables are entering production

    8cm Range tables are now trickling off the production line. As soon as the blackening solution arrives, these should be ready to ship.  It is a very good thing we are engraving these on our own machine; it takes 3 hours and 17 minutes just to carve the straight lines!  We avoid paying $25+ per hour for someone else's machine time.  The machine has to work slow since the bit is so small and fragile.  We're not sure when the first one will be done.  All in all. they are turning out better than expected now that we have done...

  • New items in the works

    Things to look out for include 8cm cleanng brushes, K98 grenade bags, and (fingers crossed) 8cm range tables.  We recently purchased both a CNC mill to complete the range tables and a PFAFF leather sewing machine to sew heavy linen cord.  The mill is waiting on a controller board that makes the spindle turn so for now it is a very expensive automated paper weight.  K98 bags and 8cm backpack carriers are waiting on canvas and webbing.  8cm cleaning brushes are mostly complete and just require paint and bristles.  All in all, our manufacturing capacity has taking a huge leap...

  • Credit card check out is now much easier

    It is now much easier to pay using just a credit card.  During a recent review of our site we determined our payment system through paypal just was not functional enough so we found a good processing service though our website software.  You can still use paypal but you can also just use a credit card.
