"Really easy to shop and find a perfect item and the purchase was made really stress free. The item I purchased was an Napoleonic sword which came within a couple of days of me paying for it. Kate from Collexchange was really on-board with replying to my emails and queries really quickly within the same day. So really pleased to have shopped with them - and the seller sent my item really well packaged and good contact with them keeping me updated on my orders progress."

"You found something I had been looking for, for many years, this being a WW1 German military helmet known has a PIcklehaube. Thank you for this and I am now searching for another type of military head gear called a Bicorn. I am sure your firm will oblige but it may take a while. Does anyone reading this know where the might be one. If yes please let Collexchange know and I would be interested. Thank you."
