Hessen Antique

Ordered a pair of jackboots with marching straps, Quality is top notch! Had some minor troubles understanding the shipping/tracking process as I am in Canada, but everything arrived in a reasonable amount of time without issue. Outstanding customer service, responded quickly and were extremely helpful with any questions.

Products were exactly as stated, fast shipping and great prices! Ordered 2 East German surplus belts and will work perfectly for my EDC purposes

While looking around for surplus Flak Vests I came across Hessen Antiques store page. I found the exact vest for my collection I was looking for and at a great price, compared to others of the sort. I quickly ordered it with 2nd day shipping to boot. After my order had been placed I got an email stating that the Vest was located in another warehouse from the primary shipping point, and that it would not arrive on schedule. The customer service representative offered a refund, But I choose to bide my time. After about two days I got a call from the same service representative a very kind and professional person about my orders shipping. Because of my proximity to the actual Hessen Antique store, It would be quicker to have it shipped by USPS Ground rather than by air. I was very happy to be contacted about this, as it would save time for my order, and was the logical choice of action I neglected to realize how close I was to the actual store. I was even refunded the 2nd day air shipping cost. I am very happy with the service provided by Hessen Antique, Their representatives are professional and courteous. I now have the store page bookmarked and will be making more orders as time goes on.

Save yourself some time before you order anything from here, I purchased a pair of boots and the issue was after I was told by Tim himself they check and make sure the boots have no issues before being sent. Well upon opening the box and checking the boots they had a problem with the seams and I could stick my finger though it. So I got in contact with Tim sent him pics of the issues with the boot and he said he would send another pair out. Well here we are again the second pair of boots I received were mismatched meaning two different boots. Well I guess you get what you pay for and I guess that's how they do business. What ever happened to the days of getting good products I guess those days are far and gone and they definitely got me for my money not to mention you can't even wear any of the boots and real kicker the first pair that was sent would cost 80 dollars to fix cause wear the seam was open down by the sole of the boot.. Can't wear the second pair cause there two different boots...

I am extremely happy with my order and the quality. I have to be honest that I initially had some hesitation and mixed feelings on ordering through them because of various mixed opinions / reviews about merchandise and change of quality. From what I understand, this company does the best they still can which is getting more difficult to obtain the most authentic reproductions of many German era and apparel. There have been some numerous complaints about quality changes over the years by some, however I do not believe this to be the fault of the owners and that they still try to source the highest quality options. Everything I ordered including a cap and some Knight Crosses and the Ribbons were 100% to the details and quality that they appeared in the images. This is something very rare to find especially nowadays. In fact, some previous reproduction items I have owned including the Knight / Iron Crosses have been much lower quality even down to the ribbons from other reproduction companies I've ordered from. These versions had much richer color and were more vibrant than past reproductions I own which I have even paid a higher price for. Everything was packaged very well and securely. Sometimes I wonder if a lot of the complaints this company received may be due to not reading some of the details on the condition of the products they order. I am planning on ordering again from them very soon. There are very few companies that produce or operate as reputable purveyors of German WW1 / WW2 apparel and accessories even in the reproduction market. There are only several of them in Europe which are reputable, and after doing research I have found that Hessen Antique also obtains a lot from these sources. If you live in the US especially, I think this may be the best company to order from and with the best value.

Great seller. Good stuff for great prices and really fast shipping. Absolutly recomend it. 5 stars

This place is a history collectors paradise, I have been looking for MONTHS for a M32 complete uniform with the medals I have been looking for and this place has ALL OF IT I will definitely continue to order from here for months onwards and hope to visit the actual place very soon Ignore the undershirt I know I’m supposed to have all white and black tie

Will you people ever get m36 tunics in stock? I've been waiting for 6 months for one in my size... I even emailed the store... Oh yes within a couple of weeks... I don't think so.... That was a month ago.... And also stone gray trousers.... They have been out of stock for 6 months as well... VERY DISAPPOINTED....

If you’re into reenacting or just a collector this is the place to get your gear, specifically German militaria. I got basically my entire WW1 kit from these fellas and I’d recommend them to anyone. Competitive prices, great inventory, and fast shipping....what more do ya need?

Placed order online and everything went smoothly , i recieve an email stating because my billing and shipping address do not match they will not send it to shipping address only billing address after quickly charging my card. Deeply disappointed and willl not order from again. This information was not provided to me at checkout.
