Welcome to Vimy Militaria, a company dedicated to providing you, the military collector, with a fine selection of quality military antiques, militaria, and research. Vimy Militaria is owned and operated by Jim Godefroy. I have been a collector of Canadian medals and militaria since the early 1980s, and decided, a few years ago, to turn my hobby into a business as well! My brothers joined me in my venture initially, but distance and a heavy workload for each of them meant that they were unable to put as much time in as they wanted. As a result, they decided to step aside and let me carry on on my own!

Militaria is a part-time venture, and as my interest in military medals
is a hobby, I often can't give the site as much attention as I'd wish.
My wife, daughter and son keep me busy, as
does the yardwork, some volunteer work, and my own burgeoning
collection. I do not issue printed lists, as updating and
maintaining this site takes up most of my free time, and items sell as
quickly as I can add them. If you have visited here on a friend's
computer, feel free to jot down my mailing address and drop me a line
with your wants, as I would be happy to let you know if something
should come along. Please note that in addition to the medals and
militaria found on this website, I also offer medal research services.
I encourage you to share my URL with your collecting friends, and to
visit my site from time to time, as it is updated as regularly as time
permits. I
also encourage you to send me your 'wants' lists. I maintain a
computerized wants listing which allows me to instantly notify my
customers when items of interest come in.
I hope you enjoy my site and encourage you to offer any suggestions you
may have as to how I might serve you better.
Cheers,
Jim Godefroy
