Historical Magazines

Historical magazines collect articles, commentary, research, and visual material covering military history, historical periods, campaigns, equipment, and related hobby subjects. Many issues are useful both as reading material and as reference, especially for miniature gamers, wargamers, and collectors who rely on period-focused sources that are not always reprinted elsewhere.

Noble Knight carries back issues and harder-to-find titles in a category where specific magazines can matter far more than a casual browse suggests. For customers hunting research material, filling collection gaps, or following a particular historical focus, this subcategory reflects that narrower and more serious kind of interest.

Noble Knight gets all of their printed material from manufacturers, distributors, author/artists, or from trade-ins from customers.
Noble Knight carries books and magazines in a wide variety of languages, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and many others. To make it easy to identify we also include the language of the item in the title, if an item is not in English.
There are a variety of methods we use to tell what printing a book or magazine is. For most books and magazines, it will state what printing or edition the item is on the copyright page. Another method is to look for printer's key or number line on the copyright page. For those, the lowest number listed indicates the printing.

For other items we will have to do a bit more research. Ultimately, we review the product, compare it to other versions of the same title, check online resources, or make our own best judgement based on our years of experience about what printing or edition an item is.
Noble Knight does do special orders of items that are still in-print and available. If we cannot make a special order, you could put the item on your want list. This will notify you with an email when the item is back in stock. A word of warning though, rare items may not stay in stock for long!
Noble Knight aims to have a very searchable database. We have over a million unique item listings, so it is helpful to narrow your search. Two of the simplest ways to look for similar items is to look at other items in the same product line as the item you enjoy. This will show items that are similar or maybe even in the same game system. Another option is to click on the genres that are listed on the page of the item you like. This will show all other items that have this same genre or tag.
We at Noble Knight use the term Historical Magazines to describe magazines about historical topics. The collectability of a magazine is related to, but often not directly tied to, how old the magazine is.
