FAQ

The shipping is calculated according to the overall weight of the items in your shopping cart. You will see the exact amount when proceeding to the checkout before order your final confirmation. It means that you can still decide whether to buy or not. Customers from outside the EU will be automatically charged no 21% VAT after a non-EU shipping address has been input.

Unfortunately it is impossible since the Brexit. We can still ship costumes, boots, plate armour etc. to the UK. Anything that can be considered as a dangerous item (weapon) by the customs, can be confiscated.

The production of chain mail armor requires a lot of human handiwork. We were affected by an important fact that also changed the rules in many other industries. The labor costs of European workers far exceed the labor costs in Asia, even if you take into account the transport costs from Asia! For this simple reason, in the EU there are no workshops that manufacture chain mail armor professionally - and we are working with professionals only! Hobby-producers, who occasionally work in their garages, do not fit into our business concept. We are very sorry; we cannot make for you any mail armor made-to-your measure. Some re-enactors found a solution for this situation: they buy our imported standard-sized mail shirts (sometimes oversize or several pieces), unravel them and make tailor-made mail shirts, legs and other armor parts by themselves.

Unfortunately we have no art historian in our team. I can recommend you to look up an expert in a directory of expert witnesses or an auction house in your country. If you intend to sell your original militaria, contact Herman Historica from Munich that specialize in auctions of this kind.

The scabbards are made exactly to the size of the blade. Please select a scabbard you like. If you´re not sure, whether it is a suitable one, contact us with your order number and we will recommend you a suitable style. If you have already received the sword, we will ask you after receiving your order to submit several measurements of the sword blade. If we still have not dispatched the sword, we will take measurements of the blade ourselves and have the scabbard made for you in correct size.
