Time Machine

Soldat FHQ’s Time Machine is a bit like magic. Three quarters of a century has passed since the since World War II began. Even minty original items have the ‘feel’ of the passage of time. Combat captured ‘War Booty’ came into the veteran’s hands a bit ‘salty’.

I started Soldat FHQ to provide everyday collectors, like myself, who had to part with hard earned cash to build their displays access to top quality replica pieces sold as replica pieces. I wanted hobbyist to be able to fill those ‘holes’ in the collection. What I discovered was that while the replica could be the level of what I has sold as ‘Jeweler Quality’, created originally to deceive the buyer, they still presented a ‘new’. The shiny penny sticks out.

Over the years I have studied the craft of skilled artists who create time travel in films. I have spent time talking to and studying the ‘art’ of some of the best European forgers. Several of whom I watched provide merchandise to well-known dealers. I have learned the tradecraft; I wrote the Soldat books about it.

Sending your replica through the Time Machine makes it fit right in with those more senior original collection stars.

Each Time Machine Trip is individually bid on your item. Let’s get together and see how we can make you collection look, period.
