Militaria are artifacts or replicas of military, police, etc., collected for their historical significance. Such antiques include firearms, swords, knives, and other weapons such as; uniforms, helmets, other military headgear, and armour; military orders and decorations; challenge coins and awards; badges and insignia; military art, sculpture, and prints; ephemera such as cigarette cards, photographs, antiquarian books, magazines and posters; scale models and toy soldiers; and items of combat equipment and field gear. Today, the collecting of militaria is an established hobby among many groups of people. Many European families, specifically those royal families with long martial tradition, have large collections of militaria passed down from generation to generation. Also, many people today collect militaria for investment purposes, as the value of extremely rare antiquities almost never goes down. An alternate name, used by many dealers, for militaria is 'military antiquities' or 'military antiques'. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Jane P - Sun Jun 17 18:21:47 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I hear you on this matter, it is sad that people think that because people share an interest in the beauty of the medal or badge or think of the bravery of the men(war criminals EXCLUDED, its a shame I have to put that in there because some misinformed soul would be yelling about how many people they killed), they think they are neo nazis. Anyways yes, I was called down in a class of mine by a teacher who had majored in Russian history and said how the German people were evil, I being part German took offense to it and said "No, the Nazis were evil, and the Russians werent saints either."

However it is a holdover from a time when such seeming embellishments had a purpose, crested helms (think the Spanish Conquistadors for an obvious example) were developed in an age of sword combat. The crests were intended to divert a sword blow directly to the top of the head. The original "Pikelhaube" helmet was designed by Prussian King Frederick Wilhelm IV in 1842 and it's use spread to other German states. By 1915, the spikes on the WWI helmets were detachable. The spike would stick up above trench level giving away positions of individuals. Entente troops would often shoot at the spikes in an effort to knock them off to intimidate and annoy the Germans. By 1916 the "coal scuttle"… [cont.] Answered by RTO Trainer - Sun Dec 14 19:25:40 2008 What do you collect?
