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'.

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.]

German u-boat pocket watches?
Q. Anybody know anything about U-Boat torpedo timers? AKA chronographs used by the Nazis on the nazi submarines? I saw a pocket watch in a militaria store in my home city which allegedly is from a u-boat captured by some british naval vessesl during WWII. I researched "torpedo timers" on the internet. the little bit of info I come across, is most Torpedo timers are stop watches. But the watch I saw in the store is not a stop watch. its a watch with a regular twelve hour face; basically a conventional watch function, with an additional chronograph function. Anybody know anything about these? there could be several assumptions. the watch I saw at did not come off a u-boat. OR The watch I saw at the store is definitely a u-boat… [cont.]
