Lots of neat pieces including a bomber vest, head gear, and other unique items. I've found several knives that always seem to do well. For anybody that wants to see something that will make you hungry check out the K-ration or maybe not.
German uniforms always seem to do really well in this category. I'm not sure I've ever had a female jacket in the block before but if you haven't seen it click to check it out below.
I found a Japanese award medal that is going for north of $300 at auction. There are also some high dollar Russian medals and some good swords in here as well.
The nice American helmet below is ending soon so quick on it first thing. When I placed it in the Hot Finds the bidding was already over $500 which is pretty nice.

Most of us will turn our nose up at the fancy limited edition modern watch that somebody posted in the WWII category. I guess I included it because I just can't believe it has 19 bids and people actually buy those kinda things. I guess everybody has their hobby and collection so I should not judge.
Lots of great military helmets on eBay including several in this block that might break $1000 in bidding by the time it's over.
Blades are especially popular in the round up block with daggers, swords and bayonets making the list. I tried to find some unique listings that probably were not on your radar.
What would the WWI block be without a pike helmet? Click on any of these to check out what's topping the charts in the sister category to WWII.

The frame of patches below caught my eye because it appears to be a museum display that is being sold off in chunks. I recently got on consignment a similar display on Scout stuff that I'm going to have listed soon. When you sell something that others have seen before behind glass that's pretty good.
German holsters seem like an iconic item that gets lots of bids when they are listed on eBay. It's just one of the quirky things in this hobby where each country has unique items they are known for that are now collectibles.
You know the old history teacher in me likes war posters. I had to read the description on the Canadian one listed below because at first it didn't trigger my memory. ARP stands for Air Raid Protection and the poster features a whistle. Luckily I don't believe Canada faced any true air raids. I know in America even in small towns teenage boys were trained as plane spotters and would stand watch on roof tops.
World War I auctions featured in this block represent the best ones I could find live based on bidding and price.

You can't miss the very neat unit patches that are ending soon on eBay. Sometimes I wonder about the guys that designed these playful patches. You had to have certain kinda of sense of humor to have a lamb and a bomb on the same artwork.
In the German category this week I found the usual suspects including helmets, knives and a sniper scope.
There are some unique pieces for sure in this round up of items from the smaller categories in the WWII corner of eBay. Check out that interesting uniform piece below.
This week marks the 100th anniversary of the USA joining the fight in WWI. There are some neat historical documentaries and programs that I hope to find the time to watch on the topic.
