NEW WEB SITE UPDATE
New site news; not a great deal to add at present. The layouts are all done, as is how the site will work; quite nice looking (if I say so myself) with ease of use a top priority.
Its not produced from a template, its within certain parameters unique, hence its taking a little time to put together.
It will be instantly recognisable at a glance (to old friends and clients alike) as Mons Military Antiques, as my company colours and old site home page images have been incorporated into the new home page design.
As my new site is NOT a Concept500 site I may 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.

General notice :-
Mons Military Antiques adds to its site sales pages, a diverse range of 1914 - 1945 military antiques and collectables (with peripheral items included).
All spend capabilities are catered for; allowing beginners as well as advanced collectors to ‘enjoy’ listed items.
Not all Mons’ stocked items are detailed/site listed.
All listed items are available for immediate purchase, with no additional charges (other than post), and are covered by a ‘genuine’ guarantee.
Mons’ also offers easy payment plans on multi buys and the more expensive
items, making an addition to your collection as easy as possible.
Mons' is happy to receive the offer of surplus to collection items, either as part exchanges or direct purchase. (As long as a seller is happy/can comply with my buy in regime, see terms 'Buying In').
‘House-keeping (site & stock) chores' keep me always busy, a never ending task it would seem.
My social media pages are used to give a 'heads up' and prior warning on some future listings and general site activity (especially at present ‘New-site’ information), so my Face-Book, Instagram & Twitter pages might be worth a peek.
(I do not discuss business matters via SM under any circumstances).
My ‘Linked In’ page tries to promote the need to value our uniformed services military/civilian and medical personnel, rather than sales promotion.

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

Best regards....Richard

Excellent overall, moth and damage free condition.
