Some unique pieces are leading the way for this run down of the best items in the United States category. Most issues I can fit in about 1 1/2 dozen picks from the biggest category in WWII.
Check out the picks from the German category today including a pin collection and several helmets.
Japan and Russia are well represented in this group of live auctions pulled from the other corners of the category.
This run down of WWI items includes several helmets, medals and blades that are getting lots of bids on eBay.

Big finishes coming in the United States category as all of these live auctions are counting down the minutes until the bidding ends.
My wife told me not to launch any auctions over this holiday season as she has a long list of things for me to do. Luckily for the rest of us many sellers in the WWII category were not following the same orders.
For some reason there are a lot of awards and medals that are featured in this block. I try to be pretty neutral and just pick the listings that are doing well to add to the newsletter and these shinny pieces won out.
These picks from World War I go way back. Calvary swords and pick helmets are a sign that these listings are from another era all together.

It's about to close but click on the 104th Infantry helmet below to see a big winner in the WWII category. Other picks in this United States category include several knives and a nice A2 jacket.
The German box today has some interesting picks. Those are not frisbees pictured below so go ahead and click if you are curious what those disks are.
Picks from several countries are the highlights in this block including some from Canada that are doing well. Click any of the picture or text links to see what these are getting bid up to.
Maybe "museum worthy" are not words too strong to describe the painted USMC helmet from WWI pictured below.

Today's round-up of the United States category includes some good looking uniforms, knives and gear that is doing well on eBay.
The German category always has a couple of helmets getting bids but most times the question is what else is drawing the attention of buyers in the category. Click on any of these listings to see what I thought was noteworthy.
From paratrooper helmets to Japanese swords this block catches items from many of the smaller categories featuring pieces collected from the war.
The helmets and uniform grouping below are definitely worth a minute of your time to investigate.

Several good picks today in the United States category. I always appreciate it when the seller puts aviator glasses on the mannequin for the bomber jackets. Good photography goes a long way in this hobby.
The German category is looking strong for this time of the year. A friend is a real fanatic for VW buses and told me that around the holiday you see a lot of them come up for sale as people need cash. That might explain the reason why we still see so much vintage military stuff on eBay during the season - people need the money now.
Got a couple of interesting British pieces in this block along with Canadian and other state actors in the war. This block has a good variety of pieces from multiple countries.
In every issue I check on the World War I category to see what's shaking. This is a good bit of interest crossover in these pieces and many of them are 100+ years old now.
