This block features United States pieces that are ending soon on eBay. I only selected the ones getting the most competitive bids to include. The way I write the newsletter that counts as a vote with a bidder raising their hand saying yeah this is a good pick.
There are many German picks that are in the double digits in terms of bidding. This category is the 2nd largest in WWII and has lots of listings every week.
Italy the RAF and many other picks made it into this round-up block that catches the smaller subcategories in the WWII marketplace.
Swords and knives are always popular in the newsletter and this WWI block features several that are doing well on eBay.

You can find multiple uniforms and groupings in the United States block. Also check out the helmets and knives which are doing really well.
German listings make up about 1/3 of the auctions that I feature in every issue on WWII items. Do you think the guy could have ironed that coat below a little before putting it up for bid?
How about Mongolia for a pick that is a little out there? The medal pictured below is Mongolian Order of the Combat Red Banner and it's doing quite well. I'm sure that didn't turn up on too many of your saved searches.
In just about every issue I've been able to feature another nice listing of complete uniform groupings because a big seller is breaking up his collection.

Of course you have to click on the iconic Navy divers helmet. With free shipping from Florida the 13 bids have driven it up over $2k and who knows where it will end in a few days!
The really cool Kriegsmarine grouping below is being sold out of Bulgaria. However, the seller has a 100% feedback rating so you might can bid with confidence on that one.
Having published this newsletter since 2010 you can bet when a fold up paratrooper bicycle comes available I stick it in the Hot Finds. The one ending in a few days has jumped over $1k and is still going.
The elaborate hats of this era are a collecting niche all to their own. The German/Austrian one pictured below is doing well with about 2-dozen bids so far.
