I am back with some really nice picks in today's issue of the Hot Finds. I'll start you off with some nice American insignia and roll you through the usual mix of German, Japanese, Russian, and other memorabilia listed on eBay.
The nice 503rd PIR patch pictured below sat in a scrapbook for the last 60 years. Luckily it seems to have aged well and has received a lot of bids.
Seeing the German Normandy helmet reminded me of a recent video I watched online. It stated that more American soldiers died landing on one beach on D-Day than have perished fighting since 9-11 in the War On Terror.
I am not a big fan of Russian medals but since this block covers those categories you always see several make it into this block.
I am however a fan of the 1881 Model Russian New Government era Cavalry Shashka Swords listed below.

I missed two issues of the newsletter for the first time in maybe years. I had some issues come up but things should be settled down now and you can dive in and enjoy these hand picked auctions.
There are several nice American pieces in the lead off block for today's issue. Helmets, knives and uniforms are the favorites for many collectors in this area.
German pieces are the 2nd most popular in the WWII category of eBay. The binoculars listed here are a popular piece to land in this block of the newsletter.
You are pretty good if you can identify what that items pictured below are. Giant rubber bands? I don't think so...

School is about to wrap up in a few days and I'll dive into a summer schedule with the kids. They are going to have a blast.

I almost missed getting this newsletter out on Memorial Day. We had a lot going on with everybody home so this issue is a bit delayed. I hope you still have a minute to click through and see what I found up for auction on eBay.
Since it's a bit late I'll let you just click right in without trying to introduce any of these picks.
This German block features some big hitters in the popular category on eBay.
There are many unique items up for bid in this block that features the other countries that have their own stand alone categories under WWII.
