Antique Militaria are artefacts from the military, police and other uniformed civil services collected for historical significance. War medals, medals and Militaria are an exceptionally passionate category in the antique community. You will often find these cover areas of WW1, WW2, and other great wars, dating back to the 18th century and older. However, antique Militaria is not just reserved for badges and medals. It can also refer to the weapons used in action, uniforms, letters, and diaries from soldiers, even items commonly used by those enlisted, such as cutlery, corps, and accessories. Many popular items found include helmets, armour, firearms, knives, swords and military orders or decorations.
Militaria is also known as military memorabilia and can span from all different conflicts. We have a vast range of medals, hats, badges, paper goods like maps and books that provide authentic notes and plan-making from the moments of history. So often, many consider this to apply solely to land-based uniformed civil services; but it also applies to our services in the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. It won't be long before we consider items from the Space Force service to join the antique military field.
Rarity, circumstance, and locality can significantly alter the desirability and value of an item. European letters are in abundance and are not worth as much as the Japanese held POW counterparts. An item that has cultural significance to a place in the world will be worth more than if that item was sold outside of its county. People like to collect their local war memorabilia to honour their forefathers' in their community and uphold their memory.
