New Shipping Policy
To our valued customers. Due to the ever changing Governmental Customs and International policies, Age of Kings has modified our policies. We have recently opened an Office in Europe and will now be shipping your goods from either the USA (Texas) or the EU (France). How will this work:
. All our items are now marked with a country of origin. When clicking on your cart it will be indicated.
. Shipping charges and 2% insurances costs have been readjusted to reflect actual costs ie. more affordable if shipping within a continent.
. When purchasing an item located in Europe and send to the USA, please note that UPS or FEDEX charges a flat €30 (approx. $35) for custom processing documents along their shipping charges and applicable custom duties.
. If there is no urgency in getting your goods, we can offer a group shipping - in other terms we will ship a few items together in order to cut down on all the cost. This may possibly delay the final receiving by a 2-4 weeks. Simply call either - Randy Trawnik (214) 642-8159 or Remy Schaal +33 (0)6 77 06 35 27 - PRIOR to placing your order and we can walk you through the steps in order to generate some saving in your overall shipping costs.
We sincerely apologise for these new changes and are doing our best to insure safe, economical and efficient delivery of your purchased items. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or mail at contact@ageofkingsmilitaria.com

History
Before World War I and the time of mechanized armies there was the Age of Kings.
The great armies of the late 1900’s were heirs to a rich military heritage. These armies embodied the spirit and national identity of the nations they served. There are few alive today who have witnessed the pomp and grandeur of a great military parade of the pre 1914 era.
The pageantry of processions of cavalry troops, artillery columns and massed infantry in colorful uniforms and headgear must have been a fantastic sight.
