Vintage Military Collectibles
WWII • Soviet & Cold War • US Airborne
A rotating cabinet of genuine vintage militaria — US Airborne plaques and Korean War field gear, Soviet propaganda matchboxes, a railway lantern and a Cold War Geiger counter, plus WWII German and British pieces and a Maxim machine-gun ammo belt. These are one-off finds: stock rotates, and when a piece sells, it’s usually gone for good.
Vintage Military Collectibles
Our vintage shelf is where the genuine one-off finds land — 16 pieces of authentic militaria spanning US Airborne history, Soviet and Cold War ephemera, and WWII European field gear. Because these are vintage items rather than current production, stock rotates and many are one-of-a-kind, all part of our wider military collectibles department.
American Militaria
For the US collector, the 101st Airborne Division Ceramic Plaque and 82nd Airborne Division Ceramic Plaque are wall-ready commemoratives of the Army’s two storied airborne divisions. The USMC Korean War MP Brassard is a genuine Military Police arm brassard from the early 1950s, and for the restorer or re-enactor the USGI M1951 Webbing (55-meter roll) supplies bulk period-correct cotton webbing for repairs and reproductions. The USGI Gunner’s Quadrant Box is the fitted carry case for an artillery gunner’s quadrant — a characterful small piece on its own.
Soviet & Cold War Eastern Bloc
The Soviet section is a collector favorite. Our set of propaganda matchboxes — the Red Army Soldier, Soviet Army Glory, USSR Air Force, and Armed Forces of Soviet Russia boxes — are affordable, displayable slices of Cold War graphic design. Larger pieces include the USSR Soviet Train Conductor Lantern, the Maxim MG Ammo Belt and Can (the canvas belt and metal carrier for the classic Maxim machine gun), and the functional Polish DP-66 Geiger Counter, a Cold War radiation detector and a standout conversation piece.
WWII & European Field Pieces
From the Second World War and the wider European theater, the Vintage German Army Soup Bowl carries the period RZM maker’s mark, and the German Red Cross Armband is a wartime medical-service armband — both offered as historical collector and re-enactor pieces. The British WWII Wire Cutters are a genuine pioneer tool now half price, and the Serbian Army Cavalry Horseshoe is an inexpensive, genuinely unusual cavalry relic.
