How to Buy an Item


Getting Started

Our shop is divided into four departments, Pre WW1, WW1, WW2 and Books. When you first enter the shop you must choose which department you wish to visit to proceed, you can change department again at any time. Once you select a department the shop will change to show all the items for that department.

Our shop is an 'active shop' that allows transactions in real time. This means that the shop will automatically remove an item as soon as it is purchased thus avoiding the problem of orders for items we no longer have.

In addition our system allows us to update the shop throughout the day thereby also removing stock sold by telephone, fax, e-mail etc.

The use of this advanced technology means that although it is possible that an item you are interested in could be sold, the chances of this happening are small and you can be confident that the item(s) you are buying are available.

We add new products to the shop on the last Thursday of the month, normally in the afternoon.

The Stock Page

Items are displayed 10 per page, use the buttons at the bottom of the page to navigate through the pages.

If you see a symbol on an item this indicates that the item was added in the last 30 days. All new items are displayed at the beginning.

You will notice that next to most items there is a small picture, this is called a thumbnail, click on the thumbnail to see a larger image(s).

When you first enter the shop prices are displayed in £ sterling, to change the currency, select the currency you require from the dropdown list and all prices will be converted to that currency. Please Note that currencies other than the default are an approximation only.

Using the Searches

When you select a department all the items in that department are displayed. The shop includes several search methods to help you find the item(s) you are interested in:

Category Search
The Category search allows you to display the items in a particular category. Select one or more Categories from the lists and click to display the stock items for the selected categories only. You can change categories as many times as you wish. The following examples demonstrate how to use this search.

Example 1: I am interested in all WW2 items
Select the WW2 department and all the items in that department will be displayed.

Example 2: I am interested in all British WW2 items
Select the WW2 department, then select British from the Countries list and All Categories from the Category list. Click and all British WW2 items will be displayed.

Example 3: I am interested in WW2 Bayonets of any nationality
Select the WW2 department, then select All Countries from the Countries list and Bayonets from the Category list. Click and all WW2 bayonets will be displayed.

Example 4: I am interested in all British WW2 Bayonets
Select the WW2 department, then select British from the Countries list and Bayonets from the Category list. Click and all British WW2 bayonets will be displayed.

Keyword Search
The Keyword search which can be accessed by clicking on the Keyword & Stock No. link on the menu. This search operates across all departments, displaying all items from all departments that contain the keyword in the description.
The Keyword search is very powerful but needs some thought to get the best results (e.g. if you enter 'Holster' the seach will find all items with Holster and Holsters in the description, whereas if you enter 'Holsters' the seach will only find Holsters)

Stock No. Search
The Stock No. search which can be accessed by clicking on the Keyword & Stock No link on the menu. This search operates across all departments and will display the item regardless of which department it is in.
