Malvern Militaria Show, Kempton Classic Arms Fair, Replenished Stock Etc.

On Sunday, the 24th of March, we will be stalling at Malvern Militaria once again. This show is a fixture, twice a year, on our calendar, and one that we always look forward to. Held at the Three Counties Showground at Malvern, Worcestershire, WR13 6NW.

We will be in our usual spot on the lower level next to our friends from D&B Militaria. As normal, if there is anything that you specifically want us to take, please email us well in advance. We always have to precis the stock to get it all on the pitch, so don't be disappointed - let us know!

We will also be stalling at Kempton Classic Arms Fair at Kempton Racecourse on the 7th of April. Creatures of habit, we will be outside again - hopefully this time the wind will not remove half the stall mid-morning! The show is in and around the grandstand on the racecourse. Sunbury-on-Thames,TW16 5AQ.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Lastly for now, restocked this week and now 'live' on the website again; Enfield made original 7.62mm Extractors for L42A1 Rifles etc, SMLE and P'14 Volley Sight Pointer sets, Beech and Walnut Sniper Cheek Pieces, .303" Pullthroughs and Sten Dummy Silencers for Denix and other compatable Stens. Thanks as always to the indefatigable Andy - and get well soon Mate!

New in Today!

Just recieved this morning - a packet of original 7.62mm Enfield made Extractors for L42A1 Lee Enfield Sniper Rifles! First time in ages that we have been able to find any sort of quantity of these in one hit. NOS condition, grab them while they are still available, they are 'live' on the website now!

Also arrived in the last few days, a small number of excellent condition, original and Broad Arrow marked .455" Webley Mk6 Revolver grips, a pair of Webley 'Birds Head' grips, Mauser 'Broomhandle' grips, Walther P38 grips, and assorted other grip sets including S&W commercial revolver grips. These are being sorted and listed at the moment but should start appearing on the website soon. We will be stalling at Malvern Militaria on Sunday the 22nd of October and we will have them with us, so come and check them out.

'Sticky'

Do you have something to sell?

We are looking for Lee-Enfield spares, accessories and tools. If you have any of these surplus to your needs sitting around gathering dust why not speak to us about converting them into cash. We are usually more interested in quantities than individual pieces, but anything will be considered.

Please Contact Us and let us know what you have. The more detail you can give us the better, if you have part numbers better still. Please include how much you would like for your treasure, but be aware that we are buying to sell on and we do need to eat sometimes!

If you have other British or American spares, accessories or tools we will of course give these consideration as well if the deal makes sense.

Hope to hear from you.


Re- PayPal Payments - Update

We now appear to have resolved our dispute with Pay-Pal and so business now resumes as normal (or near normal) for the foreseeable future.

You will note that our website now no longer contains any magazines or similar which will take more than 10 rounds. This restriction on our business has been imposed on us by PayPal. Whilst we are forced to comply with this we would like to point out that we greatly resent this interference with our legal business!

To clarify matters, we do still sell magazines such as genuine WW2 M1 Carbine 15 round magazines and the 30 round 5.56mm 'E-Mag' by Mag-Pul, however we can no longer advertise these on our website or accept payment for them through Pay-Pal. If you require any magazine which holds more than 10 rounds please contact us by e-mail and we will be happy to furnish details of our products in this line and how we can be paid for them without upsetting any 3rd party.

It is possible that further restrictions will be imposed on us in the future. Despite asking clear and pertinent questions of PayPal as to what they regard as acceptable, the best that they can give us is 'certain firearms parts'. If you can interpret that then you are clearly endowed with powers not granted to us mere mortals.


DS Military Books

The transfer of all our books and paperwork to the new DS Military Books website is now completed. The transfer enables us to control these items better and also allows you to purchase using Debit & Credit Cards directly through the website without the rigmarole of having to go through PayPal. Something that we cannot do on this website unfortunately due to the attitude of UK Banks to militaria!

Our stock of specialist books continues to grow, so please pop across and browse what we have to offer.
