Several knives, helmets and other fighting gear is in the lead off United States block of the newsletter. All of these have been getting bids and climbing the charts to land in the newsletter.
German collectors won't be disappointed with the nearly 1-dozen picks that are in this block. I am always a little suspicious of rings in this category because of fakes so buyer beware is my rule.
Seems like there are always buyers for a Fairbairn Sykes. Some of the other picks in here are also heating up as the auctions are soon to end on eBay.
The round up of WWI auctions today includes several uniforms that have lasted the test of time on these century old pieces of history.

Click to see any of these top selling WWII live auctions from the United States category. You can find knives, equipment and other neat listings that are ending soon on eBay.
German auctions are the focus of the 2nd block in the newsletter. All of these text and picture links will take you straight to these hand picked live auctions that I think are worth a look in the category.
I spotted some interesting swords and other sharp things that could leave more than a scratch as I scanned the other categories in WWII.
The final block in the newsletter takes you back to WWI to see what related auctions are getting bids and drawing attention from collectors on eBay.

Today's issue featured some nice uniforms including some dress versions and some that are a little more battle worn. I used to write a similar newsletter for pocket knives so when I spotted the nice example pictured below I made sure to put it in here.
This block is stocked full of German auctions that are getting lots of bids. You can always count on some helmets here and vintage equipment doing well.
This final block featuring WWII items give me a chance to scout out the small corners of the category and find some picks that are hiding in plain sight. For the most part there is very little Russian or Japanese in this group today.
I get emails about estate sales and like many of you I keep an eye out for interesting military pieces. I haven't been to one in many years but I'm thinking about getting back into that game.
