When eBay sellers put a high reserve on an auction it sorta takes the fun out if it. I sometimes wonder if part of that strategy is not to get potential buyers to contact you with an off eBay offer. Back when eBay first started there was ALOT of that happening but they make it more difficult these days by screening your messages so you can't send email addresses back and forth. The auction on the parachute has a high reserve.
There are several classic German auctions in today's block. Ranging from Luger holsters to helmets and hats you can't go wrong here if you collect this area in the hobby.
If you like shiny medals that get pinned on dress uniforms then this block is for you. I don't specifically set out to make it look that way but in these smaller categories for Russia, Japan, Italy and others the auctions that rise to the top tend to trend in that direction.
Click to see the best live auction in WWI which makes many of these 100 years old or better. There is a bit of crossover appeal to these early items so take a look.
