Our Militaria
There are very few reproduction items in the catalog and they are so marked.
All items are original US Government supplies or period private purchase.

We have a Layaway Plan
25% down and 25% paid each month until paid out with a maximum of 3 months. If placing a layaway order online, you may advise us of that in the "Special Instructions/Comments" box found on the Order Checkout Page.

All items in our catalog
are sold as curios or collectors items. No warranties are implied as to their original use.

We comply with all BATF requirements
regarding demilled ordnance items. Please consult the BATF for proper procedure for putting together "Live" or "Dummy" ordnance pieces.

Ken Lewis' "Doughboy to GI"
is one of the best reference books available. You will note that in many of our descriptions we reference page numbers in this book. Those of you that are new to the hobby or unfamiliar with a certain item can see what we are describing - i.e. (Lewis page 111) or (K.L. pg 111).
If you are a bookseller, please contact us for quantity discounts as we are the US distributor for this book.

We have Gift Certificates
These are great for you guys who are tired of getting ties or electric socks for Birthdays, Father's Day, Christmas, etc. Drop a hint to your wives and/or girlfriends and we will send them a nice GIFT CERTIFICATE from MMP to "surprise" you with on that special occasion. Redeemable just like money for anything in our catalog, whenever you'd like to use it. E-mail us for details

We are not too picky about returns.
All items are subject to your inspection. If you feel that you need to return an item please do so within a few days of receiving it, freight paid and in the same condition as you received it. Please call to let us know that it is coming back. You donīt need a reason to return an item, but if you feel it is our fault– please tell us! Returns play havoc with our inventory so we take our descriptions seriously. However, we can and do make mistakes, but will do our best to make it right. We will issue refunds or store credit, whichever you prefer.

Office Hours
We are generally in the office Monday through Friday, 9 til 5:30 EST. If you are unable to reach us, please leave a message and we will return your call asap.

We have no Store Front
For 14 years we have been Mail Order through our catalog and do not have a "Store Front". All of our inventory is in boxes on shelves or pallet racks in our warehouse and not on display. Therefore, we are not open to the public. However, if you are one of our regular customers and are in the area we would be happy to have you stop by for a “look see” – appointment only – please call ahead to set up a day and time.

WE BUY MILITARIA
large or small quantities - anything U.S. 1900-1970. If you are "burned-out" dealing with Mail/Internet - paying freight to and from, waiting months for payment, etc. - give us a try. We pay the shipping costs and upon inspection of your material we will send you certified funds via UPS 2nd Day Air. In addition, if we can't come to terms for the purchase of your goods, we will pay the shipping to return your stuff to you. We take single items or quantities as long as condition is no problem. Give us a call or e-mail for details of selling your items.

Item Descriptions/Photos
If there is no photo of an item or you would like specific information on an item, call us or e-mail us about it. We will be happy to pull the item, get a photo posted and/or describe it verbally as we have it in our hand.

Georgia Residents
There is 7% sales tax on all purchases.

Grading Terminology

  • NOS means New Old Stock.
     
    In other words original, not reproduction, but new, unissued, etc. We rarely use the term Mint as it implies perfection, when actually it means the way it was made, on the day it was made - perfect or not.
     
  • UNISSUED means Generally New
     
    However, sometimes age or poor storage has taken a deduct from NOS. Typically we grade on a percentage of unused – 98% means darned near unused with minuscule deducts, if any, and so on down the scale.
     
  • Excellent is Better than Average Condition
     
    Usually acceptable to any one unless they want new, unissued.
     
  • Good +
     
    Is starting to show some age, fading, soiling but intact, with minor if any repairs.
     
  • Good Only
     
    Items we try not to stock unless it is a quite rare item - it may need some repairs or have some soiling, fading and probably corrosion to hardware.
