Collecting War Relics



Welcome To Rare Antiques Collectibles and Memorabilia.

Collecting War Relics

If you count on how many war films have been made you can tell that war fascinates people. And where there is interest, there’s money to be made out of collecting.

You can focus on a specific war like the American Civil war or the two World Wars.

Collectors in this field tend to concentrate on narrow subject areas like military weapons or gas masks.

The first thing to do is to know your subject. Read all you can about history thoroughly.

War is mainly about weapons like shell cases, grenade shells- could be collected. But there is a civilian side to war.
Newspapers of the time are an excellent buy and will probably help with your research as well. You might want to collect letters written to or by soldiers, as well as postcards.

Don’t forget civilian ration books and identity cards, government pamphlets and war posters. War posters were popular especially during the first World War. Through posters the citizenry of the U.S. were reached unlike the second World War, media such as radio and television were predominantly used to recruit aspiring soldiers than mere posters.

The idea is to build up a balanced history of any war you are interested in and collect items base on your research.
