The War Front - Military Antiques & Collectibles

This is awful service! Came here from 2 hours away because we heard this place was great from a friend and ended up getting there when google says it’s open until 6 we see this sign on the door! This is ridiculous! And nothing on website says it’s by appointment only! Do better people!

Very compact but unique military museum, they have a lot of things for sale. They have a special tour through the back area that you have to pay for. You can visit the front for free. A few diorama style setups. We were there for about 2 hours because we also did the tour. My husband and son were thrilled and we really enjoyed the tour.

Incredible spot for anyone into military history. The collection is top-notch, Larry & Drew are the most knowledgeable in the area. Where else can you go and learn a minute detail in PDX? Their consignment process is also good, which I have …

I've been going to the war front for several years now. I've spent over $10,000.00 at their stores over the years. 14 months ago, I brought in a couple of items in on consignment. I had never taken anything to them before. Brought the items in, no problem, they consigned them for me. 14 months later, I never heard a word from them as to the status of my two items. I decided to out and pick up my two items and take to them another piece of Militaria I was considering consigning or even selling. They are very disorganized, so it didn't surprise me they would not call, etc., but as all the customers do, you look past it. BTW, the Warfront closes on random days and times, so, make sure you call in advance before you go out there. I went out there in late May of 2024, they were closed. I called, Lawrence answered and told me they were closed because they were in Normandy France. Ok, but it's not the first time something like this has happened. Anyway, I called to confirm they were open as I was driving. Lawrence was very nice when answering, asking "what are you looking for?" As soon as I explained I was picking up a couple of items from consignment and I had an item for them to look at, he got hostile. Telling me to "you need to make an appointment." I explained that I didn't know that, no mention on the website, etc. I had brought them the two other items, just showed up, no issues, etc. The drive is across town for me and I was on my way. He 'begrudgingly' told me to come out since I was on my way. Upon arrival, he had my dagger out (I was picking up) and a check made out to me. He told the one item had sold, here was "my check." Andy and Lawrence "Larry" were ice cold, down right rude, terribly rude. As I write this, I have no idea why. I've never been treated rudely there, as a matter of fact, Andy has always been super friendly. They didn't look at my new piece and stood at opposite ends of the counter, commenting on "not getting anything done today", literally angry. I was there, maybe 5 minutes and left. I couldn't believe it. Super nice when he thought I was going to buy something, incredibly rude because I picked up my items? When were you going to call me to tell me my one item had sold? How long were you going to keep my cash and the other item without ever calling and discussing price etc. with me? Incredibly unprofessional. Suffice it to say, I will never go in there again or purchase a single item from the Warfront again. These guys clearly put on a show if your buying something, but rude otherwise. I'll go to Wittman or someone else. BTW, they put Wittman down on his pricing, but they go to his website to price things all the time. I'm glad to know that business is doing so well that you can treat good customers so poorly. See a review below of another person being treated poorly. Not good people, what a shame. Just know what your walking into there. They are out for the margin, that's it.

I recently tried to get rid of some military uniforms from my prior service and decided to call The War Front to see if they were interested. A man answered the phone, and when I asked if they bought military uniforms, he not only mocked me …
