  Fantastic store, especially for finding more esoteric items. Despite what come particularly misguided individuals seem to believe, the proprietor is not racist, but runs this store with a non-partisan approach and carries historical items accordingly. Anyone who finds history offensive should avoid this store and remain sequestered behind their macbooks in Starbucks and the fiction section of their local bookstore.

  This is one of the best places I have been that has historical items, this place is not shy of showing historical accuracy. A wide range of items like Swastikas and SS uniforms and even soviet union items as well. It futures both WW1 & WW2 accessories. However sadly people who are offended easily are calling the owner of this store "racist" but he is not, this is all leftist lies made to minipulate the company and give it a bad rating, do not listen to these liars who complain and complain about the items in the store. Me and my good freind had an excellent time here if I could rate higher then five-stars I would. The Nazi's were at least more honest then some of these people. For this I give this place a full five-star rating.

  The owner is now friendly! About 4 months the owner was mean but later on he became nice he showed me and my brother around the store and even the rare room! I got my helmet there and my friends are wanting to wear my helmet which I got! And my brother got the old hitler Hat (maybe idk) which was 95 dollars! I would like to thank the new and nice owner for giving me and my brother a nice tour around the store!

  AVOID THIS STORE AND ITS RACIST STAFF. Very unimpressed... actually to be blunt, disgusted by this store. I am of Jewish heritage and have a tattoo with Hebrew lettering was with my partner who is African American. We were excited to find a quirky antique store as we both love history. We walked around and were leered at quite obviously by the two men working there and became quite uncomfortable being stared at. As we went to leave one man made a loud snarky comment about my tattoo that reflects my heritage relating to the branding of Jews and not visiting Muslim countries or North Calgary as if in his view certain minorities are not welcome in parts this city and others should be generalized as being hostile and dangerous based on their background. Seriously. It's 2017. We are in Canada. Please help make the world a better place by avoiding supporting businesses owned by people who vocalize such views toward random customers who were simply enjoying browsing their store. It makes me suspect that the Nazi and other such memorabilia of past regimes that terrorized and killed millions based on skewed beliefs and oppression sold in this store may not just be past artifacts to the staff and owners of this shop but may actually reflect their current views. We have nothing against this or any store selling historical artifacts...we definitely have a huge issue with the views and negative attitude expressed toward us as visible minorities and toward Muslim minorities being generalized in a negative light. Nobody chooses to be born of a specific heritage, family history, or background, minority or not, everyone in this country in 2017 who holds racist or supremacist viewpoint certainly does so by choice. Needless to say, history mustn't be forgotten, and artifacts such as those in this store may play an important part in this, however, that does not mean that history or certain viewpoints based on history and xenophobia should be perpetuated in the present. Please DO NOT support this store....if you collect these sorts of artifacts, buy them elsewhere from individuals with more balanced viewpoints.
