I am back with some really nice picks in today's issue of the Hot Finds. I'll start you off with some nice American insignia and roll you through the usual mix of German, Japanese, Russian, and other memorabilia listed on eBay.
The nice 503rd PIR patch pictured below sat in a scrapbook for the last 60 years. Luckily it seems to have aged well and has received a lot of bids.
Seeing the German Normandy helmet reminded me of a recent video I watched online. It stated that more American soldiers died landing on one beach on D-Day than have perished fighting since 9-11 in the War On Terror.
I am not a big fan of Russian medals but since this block covers those categories you always see several make it into this block.
I am however a fan of the 1881 Model Russian New Government era Cavalry Shashka Swords listed below.
