About us

About Praporchik.

Praporchik is a solo run show, we do have help from time to time from our loving friends and family we fittingly call Warehouse Monkeys.

Being located in The Netherlands makes for slight political & sanctioned issues as the tight friendship Netherlands and Russia once had.
Has turned into semi state of enemy due to current events.

Each item in our webshop is in our actual warehouse, no drop shipping no middle man.

I handpack each order, check one more time if item is as described.
Add a note or some candy(whatever left to give) before wrapping and send it using PostNL.

Before Praporchik I worked about 13 years doing tradeshows, airsoft events and militaria fairs. Later established officially to Red Army airsoft in 2013
Active from 2013 till 2018. Closed due to above mentioned political & Sanction issues.
I restarted and officially launched Praporchik in 2023.

We work with contacts established many years ago, any purchase from our website directly benefits many families, friends and lives back East.
Without their help we would not be able to offer both private seller and bulk wholesale as we do.

Starting to trade Soviet Militaria back in 2013mainly since I noticed a lack of availability in any eastern goods.
Antique, carpets, coins, hats, body armours, shashka's and anything in between is my continued wish to offer to the public.

Love for militaria, history, ancient & modern warfare and antique has always been a bright passion, to combine it and make so many people happy all over the world is honestly the best thing ever.

We do not run from political perspective, the east is the east the west the west. We provide commodities between these parts as my father and his father did before.
Not involved or supportive of any poltical agenda or idea's.

Hope my continued efforts will bring joy.

Thank you for reading!
