Like going into a museum where you can actually buy the exhibits
“Going into JB Military Antique is like going into a museum where you can actually buy the exhibits. Its owner, Jamey is very knowledgeable about his merchandise, super friendly, and clearly has a lot of care for the things he sells. The new premises in Morley are even better than the old one in Inglewood. I’ve bought a few things from JB Military Antiques both online and from the shop. It’s greatly convenient to buy online, but I really appreciate the shop because it’s good to be able to see and touch military antiques before you buy them. I just wish I could buy everything there.”

The best military antiques shop I have visited in the country bar none
“No question, the best military antiques shop I have visited in the country bar none. Jamey sells only rare and authentic items, have been a customer of his for many years and some of my finer pieces in my collection are as a result of badgering the missus and saving my pennies. This is not a military surplus store, so be prepared to pay for the rarities as you would in London or New York, but trust me, my eyes light up each time I go there for a peek. Buy with confidence.

Amazed at their ability to source obscure maps

The place is a treasure trove
