Now when you see an auction get shut down by the seller towards the end with a message that there was an "error" isn't that a little fishy? I know sellers get bombarded with private sale requests so I guess we will just have to guess what happened on that bomber jacket pictured below.
The seller for that German helmet below has really low feedback rating. Usually when it comes to something of value I shy away from bidding on a brand new seller like that.
When you watch eBay like I do you sometimes get the idea that every GI who served in the Far East brought home a Japanese sword. Ok maybe not but there seems like an endless supply every week.
Pick any of these listings from the World War I category to see what's getting attention in that corner of the military category on eBay.

Well now that's something you don't see every day - 100 armored division patches in a big lot. If patches aren't your niche then I've got plenty of uniforms, helmets and other good listings in this issue.
In the German category today there are several helmets which are always attracting bids. If you want something a little unusual try the ammo basket that is first up below.
Since this block rounds up the smaller countries as represented on eBay there is a wide variety here including Japan, Russia, Italy and more.
Picks from WWI include Russian swords, German daggers, and that unique powder blue shirt.

The day that I bring home a $500 engine part for a half-track will be the end of my marriage. Well maybe not as my wife is pretty patient but some of these items might surprise you when you see what folks are willing to bid on them.
Although they were meant for war there are examples in this block of really beautiful pieces that had some thought go into the designs and style of the craftsmanship.
I had one of the readers reach out to me about consignment selling. At this time I'm not set up to do that but I'm happy to refer folks on to some of the dealers I know which may be able to help.
I had a kid on Facebook message me today saying he was offended by a Boy Scout patch that has the state flag of Mississippi featured in the design. I wonder if this same twentysomething year old would approve of that Indian design below? LOL
