Fighting knives are very popular and you can spot many of them in this block. You can find bayonets as well as the more familiar Camillus blade.
German helmets are practically a mainstay in this German block. That's no different today with several very good examples linked in below.
I sometimes get recommendations from collectors to include certain items in the newsletter. I can't always make it happen but if you've got a really good one coming up send me an email.
The unusual cammo pattern on the helmet below reminds me of a design that you might see in an antique mall on a lamp shade. Once again going with the theme of this issue there are some great swords here.

I am sure it's just coincidence that I have two sets of aviator glasses pictured in this issue when that is something that almost never makes the cut.
There are some neat German listings here that should fit nicely in the collection of many Hot Finds loyal readers.
You can find some "red" auctions here including those that would have fit under an Imperial flag or a sickle. The collectors of those areas will like this block in particular.
The WWI block is the tail end of the newsletter but don't let that discourage you from checking these out.
I should get a Monday issue out every week but sometimes the start of the week is a little overwhelming! I hope you enjoyed getting this issue and will look forward to seeing a fresh Hot Finds this coming Thursday.

A little late in the day but still getting today's issued published for the WWII Hot Finds. Check out these auctions from the biggest military category on eBay.
When deciding what auctions to stick in the USA block of the Hot Finds it's always an easy decision when I see a great piece of insignia. Check out the US Army 14th Anti Aircraft Command Patch pictured below.
I know a few collectors who go after lighters so when I saw the German one included in this block it had to make the cut. Since it's over $200 I think I made a good choice.
In this block you can also find items from Canada that typically do pretty well on eBay. I've got some Canadian items in this block and the WWI block.
American equipment like the respirator gas mask below do well on eBay. If nothing else this would make one hell of a Halloween mask although I don't know if you'd want to wear it very long.
