This place is so full of historic items from World War One, Two, the Korean War, Vietnam, and all of the Iraq and Afghanistan military endeavors that it makes one proud to be an American. I salute you George and offer my respect to you and all who venture into History by George in Mesa, Arizona.

George is knowledgeable of the ideas in his store . Its amazing to see he tell the History of them. He works hard to preserve history and is very interesting to talk too. Thank you George and Ko for all you do. Ooxx

I called earlier to see if George was interested in some of my parents WW2 memorabilia. I appreciate his direct, complete answers based in knowledge and experience. He wasnt interested in the items and thank him for respectful no nonsense 👍

George, you have an amazing shop with lots of amazing historical pieces, but you need to work on your customer service skills. I understand that most people my age seldom express interest in history and its treasures, but I was being labeled and judged from the moment I walked inside just for being a younger guy. I was interested in some of the misc helmets and the Hitler youth knives but he started refusing to show me what I was asking to see because he didnt think I was going to buy anything, which ultimately ended up being the case by his own volition. I guess that was a good thing in the end because I ended up finding a neat US WWII era helmet at another store for less money.

Great people and best ever place.

Lots of cool coins, war memorabilia, and more. Fair pricing and a nice store owner!

George and his wife are very delightful people and very knowledgeable about the history of items. Their store is full of wonderful pieces from history! If you are a collector of any sorts I strongly recommend you check out the store.

Great guy has the best deals Ive seen in a military collectibles store

George is a wealth of knowledge! His shop is full of unique, beautiful and high end pieces. We went looking for rare trench art items, he came through with more than we could have hoped to find! We loved this place!!!

The best antique shop in East valley, specialized in military items plus many more.

Great store! I’ve been meaning to go in here for a long time. His cell number is on the door and I called him to find if he was coming in today. He informed me he would be there in 10 minutes. I ended up buying a knife of his and I’m happy with my purchase.

Outstanding selection of items priced at a more than reasonable if even generous amount. George is a great man who goes out of his way to provide awesome customer service, definitely recommend! Thanks again!

10 stars this gentleman George is a true gem this guy has a world class collection of antique turquoise native silver jewelry, W ll memorabilia, ancient books, ivory scrimshaw, Stamps, the list is bizarre and endless I mean it is a must see for all who appriciate the history of the world!

I love all the World War 2 artifacts here! I will definetly come back and look around some more next time Im downtown. Love it!

Nice guy and good prices on his military items

He has an awesome collection but his prices are way too high and hes not very welcoming. He probably saw that I was only in my mid 20s and immediately assumed that I wasnt going to buy anything (even though I was) and made me feel stupid and inferior, so I took my business elsewhere and ended up finding the same item in similar condition for cheaper the next day.

Nice guy. All kinds of cool stuff here. He bought some silver coins from us at a very fair price.

Full of antiques, from military to civilian, the owners are wonderful folks with plenty of knowledge of their wares. I always find treasures here. Love this place!

George was very helpful. Full of history knowledge. I recommend going there if you are looking to buy or sell. 👍👍

George is knowledgeable.

Very easy to get along with .Store is clean and full of interesting pieces of history. Anybody who enjoys Military uniforms & swords or collectible coins will enjoy their visit here.

Went in today; great selection of items and was a pleasure to talk to. I will be going back next time I considering adding a piece to my collection.

Dont waste your time with this place!! If you have specific items you want like for example individual coin capsules the owner will refuse to even sell them to you he will keep going one about what he thinks you needs when in fact it is not needless to say we took our buisness elsewhere and we ended up spending well over $1000 on a place that did not keep insisting on us getting items we didnt need or want!

I went in to get a value for some French stamps on the recommendation of a friend. I had spent hours online trying to gauge their worth. George knew at a glance the years they were released and in what series, etc. He then verified the info in a huge catalog of different countries and stamps. He definitely knows stamps so I recommend him if you have questions on stamp values, but what I also liked is he had a piece of history to go with every item I brought in. He truly lives up to his business name - History by George. Also if you are looking for a unique gift then this is the place to go. There were so many beautiful womens vanity items that caught my eye - truly unique and feminine. You are sure to find something different and unique for men and women of all ages. And the History by George makes the experience memorable.

A great place for historic artifacts at ok prices

Nice place has lots of history for sale. Window shoppers paradise.

Youre web page should be updated that you may or not be open during summerDrove out to look and talk about selling a great civil war piece. But not open. Your sign says it all... disappointed.

Best military Collectibles coins and Stamp shop in Arizona!

George really knows his stuff I highly recommend going for any reason

Loves george and all of his exotic to old classic items from coins to miitary items. Go say hi and look around.

Fantastic place for the military collector, plus there are lots of things for the normal “guy stuff” collector. Antique trains, toys, coins, and that sort of stuff.

George is a pissy old man! What a JERK! I said hello, George looked me up and down and said nothing. He then proceeded to follow me around as if I were a theif.Dont wast your time! Shabby overpriced content.

Great Owners,.......Honest and Reasonable,.........!

Great place to sale or trade ur war time items

Great place for just about any collectable topic.

Knowledgeable and funny. I only go for the coins however.

Owners wife is Rude

Store smell.
