Brendan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think they sell old school armor and military uniforms to collectors and replica stuff to people who reenact battles. I once went in for a butchers and got a dirty look from the guy behind the counter.

LostThePlot Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Quite Interesting, if you like that sort of thing...Been in "Just having a look" but it's one of those places, like a builders yard, or an operating theatre, that unless you fully understand the language, and it's relavence to what's on display you are made to feel as welcome as a fart in a space suit...

Dannyboy Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I've been trying to persuade work that I really _need_ a deactivated SMLE, gas mask and tin helmet to use as learning aids in my Great War seminar. When I win that argument, I'll go in. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1093-arms-armour-shop-on-lordship-lane/#findComment-28363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisa Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Many years ago, a chap used to go in their to buy Nazi uniforms a friend of mine told me. I found this rather odd at the same. I have een helmets as I peer through the window, but have never seen a visible Nazi uniform.

Mark Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I was rather happy to note they they have A.K.47 Cleaning Kits for the bargain price of ?12, especially as my kit's just about to come to the end of it's useful life.

ChavWivaLawDegree Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I never knew this place existed. I might have to go and have a gander, but it's all old guns on the website. I want a nice cute little Uzi - deactivated of course.

mockney piers Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 At a recent wedding, the proprietor of the venue had a basement office full of tin soldiers, remnants from the old tin soldier business he used to have in Elephant & Castle. Apparently a lot of odd people or kids of veterans with wartime memorabilia would pop in with stuff for sale.He showed me some of his special favourites, the bullet from Gettysburg and Mussolini's toilet paper, but my eye couldn't help but stray towards SS lapels, little swastika flags and so forth. I have to say that I did have that cold sweat Falling Down moment.I was most relieved to make it out of there into the light of day.

DaveR Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 There is a gift shop at the site of the tomb of mussolini in Predappio, where you can get all sorts of stuffI was tempted by a T shirt with "Meglio di vivere un giorno da leone che cento anni da pecora" (better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep) but all the cash goes to the fascist party, so I resisted Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1093-arms-armour-shop-on-lordship-lane/#findComment-28576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisa Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I went to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp on the eastern side of Berlin many years ago, and was shocked to see a gift shop and restaurant/cafe serving up sausages and beer! I was not amused at the time, but I guess it goes to show that the German people have moved on so much.
