Military - General

Military collectibles is a broad and interesting category. Items vary from historical artifacts to modern pieces of military equipment. Firearms are a popular subcategory, including muskets, single shots, and bolt action repeaters. Other popular collectibles include knives, bayonets, uniforms and specific pieces of military gear. The category also includes artwork from the trenches and buttons.
