Mons’ :- Spring 2019

Please make sure my new e-mail address (detailed below) is entered into your own address book. My old address is now none functional:-

monsmilant@btinternet.com

IMPORTANT:-NEW WEB SITE UPDATE
My new web-site development is progressing at a pace, with the layout and search features now 95% complete. The new site will be instantly recognisable at a glance as Mons Military Antiques, as my company colours and old site home page images have been incorporated into the new home page and search pages design.
As my new site is NOT a Concept500 site I may NOT be able/welcome 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, should you wish to continue with immediate search access to my site.
I will endeavour to stay with Militaria Mart, but, the new owners may well not want to retain any former Concept500 site holders that have ‘moved on’.
I will keep my own site viewers informed as to whats happening regarding this matter ASAP

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

WW1 BRITISH 1913 DATED HUDSON TRENCH WHISTLE

A very nice, clean untouched, example of a 1913 dated 'Hudson' whistle with full 13 Barr St address details.
Good finish to the whistle overall, being dent and damage free.
Whistle marked 'J. Hudson & Co. Birmingham, with full address details’ with good clear date marking, with WD arrow between the flute slits (see images).
WW1 & preWW1 dated whistles with the full address detail are quite rare!
