Joop's collection is incredible. Don't miss viewing this catalog of his collection.

A question..why is Mr. van de Kant selling his collection? Has something happened to him??

Mike:confused:

Alas, health problem for my friend Joop.

I bet that "Mauser" marked helmet in flyer will sell much much higher than estimation. It's a very rare item.

I'm so sorry to here that. I hope a speedy recovery for Joop!

Mike and Ruthie:thumbup:

Alas, I suspected that might be the case. We will keep Joop in our prayers for a speedy recovery...

I will too.

I downloaded the flyer, but not many Lugers. 50 Euros for the catalog seems excessive... :(

Prices per catalogue and destination including airmail service
Prix par catalogue (port compris)

Are the catalog pics taken by Joop, or by the Hermann people??? Many pages??? Color pics with history???

Our Hero~~God Bless~

Don't know what the catalog contains but the site says that it consists of 340 pages. That's a bunch of pages so I suspect there is a fair amount of neat information.

I wonder if they'd allow us to post a few of the pages here ?

There will be a few hundred Luger, holsters, accessories, magazines, books ...

The catalog for the sale of weapons of Joop van de Kant is online:

LINK FIXED by ADMIN... the last two letters were missing. (JMS)

Thank you!

But... Are the weapons operational or demiled? Can they be imported into the US, as many are military? Minimum bids look good, but I'd hate to bid on one and then not be able to ship it here.

Hi,

All the guns are operational and Hermman-Historica do offer the possibility to ship them to the USA. They will have to be import marked, I guess?
Joop actually bought many of them in the USA and imported them into Belgium.

Please read the regulations from the BATF. You can buy a piece (one?) and it does nto need to be import marked, many and it will need tp go through an importer.

Some items are in the USA (states that on the website), I am not sure which ones are or how.

I have been to Joops house, along with Vlim, its an amazing collection.
