Someone probably told you already but the coat is german police

Man your lucky been wanting a marine p41 shirt

Shootin the water jugs or shootin at these water jugs. Looks like fun

Did this dent your budget?

i got 4 ww2 knives & 2 camilluse knives one a korean & other vietnam

That's a great haul, Jonboy. You got so much good stuff on this haul, and I'm happy to see you get it. God is great all the time. Thanks for sharing it all with us. I'll P.M you later. I got something pretty cool to share with you. Have a good day

Video này tôi rất thích ❤❤

so much to comment on. but a great group of interesting items. i will say the german great coat is police or polizie officers, the armband is suspect. alot of items and knives. that room is getting full lol. thanks for sharing. interesting!!

That is an original mosquito net helmet cover, it is the full band mint green one, it is ww2 production

Man those are some great pick ups? Love those knifes!

Hold the camera still!

In a few years you may have a collection the size of Dragonman's in Colorado! Keep up the good work!

Excellent as always

Great video, I'm collecting 102nd infantry division stuff because my great grandfather was in it.

Mine says D7 in crown. Looks like your oldest one. Also has w with circle at crown too. So how old do you think it is?

Korean War M1 bayonet is in fact a shortened M1 bayonet wit reprofiled blade and issued to South Korean troops after their M1 Carbines were replaced by M1 Garands. These bayonets can use the same M8 scabbard that the M4 bayonet for the M1 Carbine uses. I actually own one of these bayonets. The one I have started out life as a Springfield made M1905 bayonet it has the Springfield H heat treat stamp on the handle.

Looks like either a USMC P41 or P44 HBT shirt. Though may be more P44 as the EGA stencil was added post war and those uniforms were in use during and after the Korean War up to Vietnam.

JB a nice video of your finds on Peral Harbor Day!

if you come across a Japanese canteen with a black rubber stopper don't remove it. it may look as if it was added post war but what it is is Korean war pla or Chinese re use. watch that one. nice collection, the patch on the German greatcoat is police.

Some really great militara to add to your collection, those knives are sweet.That Japanese bayonet is awesome,Enjoyed watching your video.

really cool group of items! some real quality. dont believe ive ever seen one of those IJN vehicle anchors. and that officers unifom grouping is pretty epic. im surprised it doesnt have his name on the outside of the trunk.

Same here. I think the movies started it all. Of course the little green army guys. Most of all, I joined the military because my grandfather was in Vietnam and my great great uncle died in WWII. He and I ended up being the same rank and in the same division all said and done. I leaned early on that most of my grandfathers Vietnam stuff was just tossed in the garbage by his mother. And that always stuck with me. So I saved all I could of my own stuff including my Kevlar that went to Iraq twice and once to Korea. Of course I brought stuff back from my deployed like patches and armbands and stuff. And it’s been an uphill battle since then 😂

All good info. Cash is great, but my area of collecting (Iraq/OIF) isn’t really found in person. And the stuff you do find is questionable (no provenance) and/or ridiculously priced (“rare”). Lots of stuff pops up on eBay. BUT you really need to know what’s authentic and what’s complete BS trying to scam you out of your money. Unfortunately, it’s not only the “rare” Saddam era stuff that’s being faked, but even modern day Iraq army, Air Force, and police stuff all the way up to today is being copied. Once you know a theater made patch, you know. There’s even small batches of fake weathered patches coming out of Asia now just like the Vietnam fakes. Of course there’s stuff out there that hasn’t been seen or on the market yet. Which is always a great chance to learn and talk to the Facebook groups about. There’s also books out there that show Iraqi patches with measurements and translations which is a great start. One reason I don’t get into WWII or Vietnam IS the amount of straight up fakes out there and my lack of knowledge and hands on. And that’s happening to the Middle East collectors market now. With that said, I think the most important thing before price is research. I’ve bought a lot of patches from known collectors and ones that have been featured in books from the author. Knowledge is key to not getting ripped off. Plus I have my own items I brought back with me between 2006 and 2009 to compare to. Anyway. Keep up the great work.

I was planning to add something, but you've thoroughly covered it all. Great advice! Thanks again for the video!

We really do have a lot in common...lol I love it when the wife says just get it, and they don't know how bad that can make us feel until we get what we purchased..😂 I hope you have a great day, Jonboy

Tôi rất thích những chiếc nón thời chiến tranh... Mình mua bán những chiếc mũ bảo hiểm này

All very good points!

That’s a nice pickup!

Good points and great advice. Research, networking, and knowing the market goes a long way. I try to be responsible and not spend what I don’t have. I also just check SOLD listings on eBay to get a general idea of what something is worth if I’m in a pinch. Staying focused, being patient and collecting what I like has worked well for me. Great video! 🇺🇸

Focus on what you really want to collect and not buy everything you see. Buy what is personally important to you, and you will never regret it.

nice helmet pot, not sure what the color blue or af and insignia was for, all navy helmets ive had were grey to dark grey paint to match ship colors. color could be for airforce in the mid to late 50s to match airforce uniforms of that color of that period.

my first rule of buying for my collection that started in 1980 was not to use my salary for it. i started by finding a rare german helmet in 1981 and selling it for 1500.00 set up a military bank account, bought from that money to make more money and keep some of the stuff along the way. set up at gun shows and military shows and the profits went into guns and miitaria for the next show and kept some items. never kept it all at anytime. over 45 years of that i built up a great collection and bank account. used the money for vacations for the family even my kids education in college. never used my salary, militaria became a second job that i used as i pleased, because my salary took care of the family and the bills. now i use the items that are left for retirement expenses.

Good points. Negotiating is good on any trade. Won't work at Walmart, but negotiating is always possible on a one-on-one trade.

I went to an auction one time and the auctioneer kept saying this item is rare on everything they were selling that night. I was just laughing at him.

great info! what id add is, the time to buy is when you see something. though thats not as true in the internet age being able to search out stuff as opposed just buying whataver youre coming across. like you said if somethings maybe a little more than you want to pay but its something you really like, its probably better to get it then lament not getting later on. always know exactly what you have before you sell anything. ive sold off stuff that i thought was one thing that turned out to be another and now wish i still had. plus you never know how you might expand what you collect only to regret selling something that falls into that category. write everything down about what you buy, how much you paid, what stuff it was with, where you got it. you might think that youll always remember such details, but you probably wont. and adjunct to this allways take a notebook, or pocket reference guide or the like where you can record what youre looking for, and what you already have. its easy as your collection grows to forget you have something mundane and buy a duplicate when you dont need to. well, thats about all i can think of now.

I really like it, Jonboy. It's definitely has some good features. Nice small paw bales with original straps. It's very nice and you made a perfect score on it for sure

That was my helmet when I was in. I want it back 🤣🤣🤣 Great find. Looking for a Navy helmet for my museum.

Cool helmet and at a great price! I’ve never had much luck at antique stores here. Estate sales have been the best for me. Nice find! 🪖

that is a great price on an awesome helmet! being that early, painted, and fixed bale i could see it 200+ all day long!

1st lol

Nice grouping and really good job on the research. Glad you could keep all of the items together, you did the right thing. Sorry to hear about the frustrating transaction, shame on them. Thanks for sharing your experience, it has helped me and I’m sure other collectors as well. Keep up the good work. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆❤️❤️

That’s a very nice grouping! And that’s a crazy story

Nice. I'm glad you got it, Jonboy. It's a nice set, and it will always be worth its weight. I'm glad you got the rest of it. I hope you have a great day
