Mons :- Spring 2019

NEW/UPGRADED WEB SITE UPDATE
Updated site is completed, it works & looks good.
I’m helping with fine combing the control panel, for little glitches.
Transfer of data from the old (here) has stalled somewhat.
As my ‘new’ site is NOT a Concept500 product I will not be able to stay on Militaria Mart, the directory that accompanies Concept500 sites. Please therefore be prepared to store my new site details as an ‘individual favourite’ on your computer.

www.monsmilitaryantiques.co.uk

or simply search Mons Military Antiques, as it will be fully search friendly, to include mobile phones.

Busy, busy times (as ever), and much too do’,....please remember its only me doing it all !

Best regards....Richard
