My fee is determined at the end of the research. However, a non-refundable deposit of twenty dollars will be paid in advance of the research. Research projects are usually completed within six weeks. I will describe the research file content in general terms and state the fee. The fee is based on expended time, expenses (usually minimal), the quantity and quality of the acquired information along with the value added to your militaria as a result of the acquired information. The non-refundable deposit will be factored into the fee. You have the option to accept or decline payment. There is no fee for an unsuccessful research project. Because of this approach, I only work on research projects that have the potential for a successful outcome. With the exception of research based on incorrect information received from you, I will refund your payment if my findings are proven to be incorrect.
