Top World War II Hot Memorabilia

Sunday, June 17, 2012

Ymca Victory Liberty Loan Bond Posters is a really neat World War II item.  This poster is a representation of the Second Liberty Bond between the people of United States and the government. The liberty bond is the investment any American can contribute for the freedom of the United States during the times of conflict dating back to the early 20th century. It is a war bond that supported the men who were fighting for victory in the war and at the same time a symbol of financial security among the citizens. The loan offered a four percent interest which was redeemable for ten years. Subscribing to the war bond is a sign of patriotism.

Another item which is also of great value is the US WWII M1 Helmet - Original Medic Helmet! It is a one of the historical relics which is very difficult to be found nowadays. This medic helmet is approximately thirty years in age. It is one hundred percent original and untouched battle field relic. This historical piece has been found in Arlon, a Walloon Municipality under the Province of Luxembourg, in the country of Belgium. The M1 fixed bails steel helmet contains the desirable Geneva symbols of the US Medical Corps. It also has a symbol of Red Cross in uncommon white square. Another extraordinary feature of the said helmet is the chinstraps stitching that had been cut. It contained a liner which is sea man paper mid war production with only on laundry. No wonder this item got the highest bids in the list!

One more memorabilia of the World War II Hot Items that is difficult to find are the ones used with Navy Seals. The whole kit contains items which are very rare yet, in excellent condition. The kit has an MLCS deployment bag, Rhodesian Reconnaissance Vest, H-Gear, and Plate Carrier Vest with black buckles, M9 Double Mag Pouch, M9 Double Mag Pouch with inserted kyndex, Butt pack - Black Buckles, Medical Kit Pouch, Gas Mask Container, Utility Pouch, High Ride Holster SIG, Admin Pouch, MAP Pouch, and a small backpack.

Top Japanese Swords – A Weekly Chore

Monday, October 31, 2011

For those of us who don't collect Japanese swords there might be the temptation to let your eyes gloss over and say that if you've seen one sword you've seen them all.  Well don't tell that to a true collector because you will get an earful about the history and artisan work in these great pieces.  Every week I could probably fill a post about these swords but since its been a while I'll just go with these picks and leave it at that.

German Knives From World War II

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Earlier I did a Top-5 post for blades from the American subcategory of WWII on eBay so a natural follow- up is to reach into the basket of closed auctions in the Germany subcat and do the same.  One thing that jumps out at you about these edged weapons is that they were all very competitive auctions.  Fifteen bids was on the low end in this group and that is ALOT for the WWII category.  Click the links to see what these auctions did and for better pictures and descriptions.
