World War II German Jackets & Uniforms

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

If my math is right the Luftwaffe jacket in the #1 spot today increased by 1000% from its opening bid.  I guess that takes some guts from the seller but thirty bids will go a long way to making things work out well for him.  In fact that was not the only auction in this top selling group that started off at $1.  The same is true for the #2 German Airforce jacket and #4 WW2 Luftwaffe Jacket.  The Red Cross tunic sold as a best offer/BIN listing and was discounted about 40% from the asking price of $999.  All told these are some great WWII pieces.

Italian World War II Uniforms on eBay

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

When I'm following the WWII category of eBay I confess that I'm mostly watching the USA category.  When I'm tempted to drift I spend time looking at German, Japanese or Russian items.  Rarely do I click over to see what's selling from Italy but when I did recently I was pleasantly surprised.  These five Italian uniforms were competitive auctions that did very well on eBay.  Click on these links to see what they ended at.

Do You Collect All World War II Helmets?

Monday, September 19, 2011

I don't know how many collectors out there are item specific as opposed to being nation specific. For example. when it comes to helmets are there collectors who collect helmets regardless of whether they are German, American or French?  I would imagine that the answer is yes and no for helmets and likely other common examples of equipment and militaria from World War II.  Well if you just collected helmets this blog post might be right up your alley.  These five diverse helmets all sold on eBay last week for good money in competitive auctions.  Click on the links to see how they did.
