Click any of these top selling United States auctions to catch the best of what's ending soon on eBay. I sort them out according to bids and dollar amounts so these really stand out above the rest.
I have tried to be very careful to week out inauthentic items that sell all the time in this category. For example I no longer list watches from this category and it might be time to put rings on that list. I see them too frequently these days.
This block features auctions from multiple countries including Japan, Italy, the UK and more. Click any of these to see what these unique live auctions are selling for.
As always I'm wrapping up the issue with a WW1 block. The neat thing about surfing this category looking for things to include is that it's always a history lesson.

Looking through the largest category for military collectors the beginning of summer can sometimes be a slow time. Folks go on vacation and sometimes the auctions start to slow down. However, I looked hard and found these live auctions to recommend.
German auctions are the focus here and I've got nearly a dozen hand picked for you based on the bidding and price. Some of these are pretty unusual - when have you seen a funeral sash in this block?
Japanese swords make their usual appearance in this block that catches up with some of the smaller categories. You can also find some Russian medals which makes this a pretty niched block but some collectors go for that.

There are some jackets that are bringing home the bids including one from the 36th Fighter Squadron. The one from the Navy pictured below kinda surprised me with how well it's doing.
Both of the pins pictured below include the word "denazified" in the title. Now as an old school teacher I had to scratch my head and wonder is that even a real word? Turns out kinda although I'm not sure the meaning can be conveyed to an inanimate object. "remove the Nazi (or figuratively, the fascist or repressive) influence from". Oh the hoops we will go through to try and keep the eBay nannies off our back.
The round-up block includes some neat pieces from multiple countries. Have you seen that funky print pictured below before?
World War I was a long long time ago but for collectors eBay is the best place to see these items for sale. I always include a block in the newsletter on that era just to see what's popping up and getting bids.
