r/Militariacollecting

I'm 3 years in and over time getting more and more stuff hopefully I will be able to start museum by 50!

In the last photo is a part of the experimental 5cm Me-262

Any opinions on authenticity? I know the belt itself was made by my grandpa a few years ago, he said he bought the buckle for 5000 huf.

Thoughts on authenticity of this one and possible value please? Looking to buy.

​Hi everyone,

​My dad passed away a few years ago and left me this tank shell that he used to keep in his shed. He always assured me it was completely inert, but I’m just trying to double-check everything for peace of mind before cleaning it up setting it up on a shelf.

​From the headstamp and research, it looks to be a 1954 British 20-Pounder (84mm) round (stamped 20 PR I L and 1954).

​A few details on its condition:

​Base / Primer: The central primer cap has a hole punctured/drilled right through to the inner threads.

Looks like it make have been yellow?

Any help you can give on it would be much appreciated.

This is one of the more recent additions to my collection. It is an original M1918 “Pershing” Uniform from the later part of WW1. The uniform is complete with breeches, a WW1 Victory Ribbon, a patch for the 7th Infantry, an Honorable Discharge Chevron, and two bullion overseas service chevrons. Unfortunately, the uniform is not named and I am missing one vegetable ivory button on the left pocket. The breeches are complete with their label which dates the contract to 1917.

This is my entire collection after aproximatly 5 years of collecting.

The first picture have the entire collection.

The 2nd is my danish M/50 civilian defence uniform. I also have the pants as you can see on the first. Along with a danish produced P37 belt and a possibly british produced gasmask bag.

The last 3 is my danish M/58 (1961) uniform, along with my danish M/45-59 webbing. It was built on the P37 webbing. And an M/48 (M1) helmet. (and yes that is a swedish communist LP in the background, i am not communist, it was my grandpa's)

it even had the papers still in it

Recently found these old British WWI posters that have been stored folded in my family’s house for years. I believe most are original 1914-15 Parliamentary Recruiting Committee posters.

Numbers I have:
PRC 96
PRC 103
PRC 104
PRC 110
PRC 113
PRC 116
PRC 119
PRC 128
Plus a large “Remember the Lusitania!” poster

I’m mainly wondering what I should look for to determine value and where/how I should sell them.

Is it better to sell individually or together? And how much do the original folds/creases hurt value?

Any advice from people familiar with WWI posters/militaria would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Edit: I am in the northeast US

Might buy this if real. The seller can't give better photos of the eagle due to the rules of the platform on which they're selling it.

I’m thinking anywhere from 2nd-Lieutenant to Major, but I can’t tell.

First and foremost I apologize if this is breaking rules. I used to work at Dragonmans and helped out with the museum. I’ve gotten enough questions about the museum and him that I figured I’d make this post. Feel free to AMA about it.

I got some pictures from last time I was there. Mostly the German room, since that’s most popular, and some of the Japanese. The place is 78k sq feet so this is just some. If there’s anything people want to see specifically, I am in touch with some employees still and can get pictures.

I am a history buff but by no means an authenticater, but even I saw some stuff that just seemed too good. So you pros, call it out if you see it. I did get shots of the “SS bodyguard belt buckle gun” and the Zyklon canisters but they didn’t show off the cyanide pill

I recently got a triple kar 98 ammo pouch and realized about a month later that under the stamp on the back it says L.SS.A.H and I have no clue if it's real

Lmao idk im just rlly happy with this bcs it looks awesome sauce yes i know it’s not necessarily military but hey they gave it to veteran and stuff

Hello, can anyone help identify where this uniform came from or what division it belonged to? It does not have a sleeve patch but it is named. All I really know was that it belonged to a Lieutenant Colonel during World War Two but that’s about where my information ends. Also, any help on what it’s worth would be appreciated.

Hello guys! Found a piece, could this be part of a ww2 fuse/timer from german flak88 or a bomb? Found in the Netherlands (not far from German city of Aachen)

Air defense at this location makes sense imho.

Anyone knows more about this thing? Its not bronze/copper like most bomb frags i have found.

Letters E and M is all i can ID. Need help:) hope this is the right sub, thanks!
