Went shopping today with a friend who showed me a militaria store thats been in Cardiff for 20 years.... yet I had no idea it was there. Its a little out of the way but thats good as uts still very cheap.
Its an Aladins cave of militaria, he has loads of WW2 british webbing, shells, deactivated guns, badges, I could have spent hours in there.
I did find somthing interesting,
3 old mre entrees, some do have stamps on the boxes, prehaps it might date them? They were £4 for the 3. (sould have been £2 each but as I'd just bought stuff he knocked en down), The stains on the boxes are water as there no nasty smell from any of them. they dont feel swolen.
Barbecue Sauce with Ground Beef- 4216 AIJ
Beef Stew- 5275941
Chicken Ala King - No stamp
Also picked up an East German Bayonet for £20,
and a strichtarn mag pouch with 4 AK mags and 8 Rounds of East German 7.62 for £20. To make the mags look loaded.
He had a wall of deactivated guns, I spend the best part of a hour playing with them, he didnt mind as I'd just spent just over £40.
Question stands do I do a taste test?
