    Hi all.

    I'm from the 'Dena. I'm twenty three, a WVU grad and a Army National Guardsman (hardy har har...) I am pretty big into collecting WWII items both US and German/Japanese (I do also buy Vietnam and GWOT Militaria depending on what it is)

    I have an emphasis on collecting items named to or documented to Maryland Vets as I do actively set up displays highlighting hometown heroes whenever the opportunity presents itself. Of course, I will also buy things that don't have a name/story attached to them. So, if you have anything for sale please let me know.

    As like any collector, I do occasionally sell things that don't quite fit into my displays/collection.That being said, if you are looking for something let me know. Not gonna sit here and say "oh I'll find that for ya" but I do get out and pick quite often and I work in the estate sale field so I do come across stuff on the reg. Feel free to send me a "Wanted" list and I'll do my best.

    I'm here to have fun with like minded Marylanders, learn, and share knowledge.

    Welcome from Rising Sun!

    As you can tell from my signature, and avatar, I have the WW2 bug also. We should share experiences sometime.
    Welcome aboard MDS and prepare to learn from the many knowledgeable gun enthusiasts.

    Welcome to the madness. I have a lot of WWII memorabilia from my Grandfather. I have a few swords with original paperwork from his commanding officer allowing him to bring them home. I couldn't bring myself to part with it though.

    Welcome. Great to see a young person interested in WWII history. I'd guess most people your age never even heard of it.

    My WWII area of interest has been fighter pilots since I was a kid, but I have a pretty significant library on WWII.

    Not sure you can get pm's yet so I'll post my collectable requests (since you asked) here. Vintage archery equipment (think recurve bows, arrows, broadheads, printed materials, etc.) and Lesney Matchbox cars/trucks.

    Welcome! WWII militaria/firearms is my collecting passion as well and while I have some years on you I'm only 32 so still younger than most that are interested in WWII collecting. The C&R section here has some extremely knowledgable members so it can be an excellent resource. My main focuses are Japanese rifles/pistols, German pistols, Japanese ordnance, flags (especially captured flags with GI signatures), and I dabble here and there in swords/daggers when I come across them. Always on the lookout for interesting Japanese ordnance, unique German/Japanese flags, and most anything Japanese 'battle damaged' if you come across items you want to sell!
