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, buttons 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'.

Anyone have problems collecting 3rd Reich Militaria?
Q. Curious if anyone else had these problems, people who collect medals, badges, uniforms, etc etc of WWII German persuasion have any problems like being called Nazi lover by ignorant people or being called Nazi itsself?
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." The Rape of Berlin cames to mind? Along with countless other atrocities they committed against their OWN kind and others. So ya a little trouble but… [cont.]
