By militaria, we mean a wide range of military objects related to military history. Examples include:

• Uniforms and headgear
• Medals and awards
• Antique rifles, pistols and bayonets
• Documents, maps and personal equipment
• Photos, field mail and war memorabilia

Particularly popular are objects from the Napoleonic era, the First and Second World Wars, and rare pieces from colonial or Asian military times. The value of these objects strongly depends on authenticity, provenance, condition and rarity.

You will be assisted by experienced specialists in militaria and weaponry. They have in-depth knowledge of military history, materials and production methods from different eras and countries. Thanks to their experience in recognising original objects, serial numbers, stamps and historical documentation, they can accurately value any object.

Whether you own a percussion rifle from the 19th century or a World War II medal, we can value it for you. The market for antique weapons and WWII objects is still very active, with interest from home and abroad. Especially rare or well-preserved pieces can realise high yields at auction.

We always recommend requesting a no-obligation valuation first, so you can make an informed decision on whether to keep or sell.

Valuing militaria is important when you want to sell an object or have it included in a collection, museum or for inheritance. You can easily schedule an appraisal in the following ways

• Free valuation days: every Tuesday between 10:00 and 16:00 at our location at Bredestraat 23 in Maastricht, we hold a free valuation day. Bring your object or show clear photos so our experts can give an indication of its value.

• Online valuation: upload photos and information (dimensions, any signature, damage) via our form. You will receive a valuation within a few working days.
• Home valuation: for larger collections or fragile objects, our expert will visit you at home. Contact us for an appointment.

Trade in militaria can contain sensitive elements, especially when it comes to objects with a fraught history. We understand that some pieces have emotional or moral value. Therefore, we treat every object with the utmost integrity and discretion. Transparency, respect and care are central to the entire sales process for us.

After valuation, you can choose to offer your object(s) through one of our auctions. Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht has a broad network of collectors, historians and institutions, ensuring that your items are brought to the best possible attention. After the sale, you will receive the proceeds minus the auction fees directly into your account.
