My great grandma saved a bunch of Morgan silver dollars from the 1880s and 90s. She gave them to her adult children for christmas years later and when I graduated high school my grandpa passed some down to me.You guys would laugh at their condition if I were to post, but I count them among my most prized possessions. She had a tough life, her husband died right as the Great Depression was beginning, one of her children just before, and yet she still managed to raise my grandpa, his many siblings, and keep the family farm running. These serve as a personal connection to the past and as a reminder of why I love history, a reminder that it's not just cold facts and statistics, it's about people who actually lived.

Coin in pic isn't mine, but felt like this post needed a photo to go along with it

I have my gramps raaf coats when he dropped nukes in the out back

>>3217202
Despite being more than a hundred years old most Morgans are barely worth more than the silver even if the condition is quite good, unfortunately. The silver mining lobby was able to get congress to authorize minting far more than there was call for. It's the same with most gold coins from the 1880's and 1890's as well, a dime from those 2 decades is rarer.

>>3215982
Other than old money like old German Reichsmarks, American dollars, and Dutch guilders, ain't got shit.

I have my Grampa's old stamp collection. throughout the 1930's to possibly the 1980's, he collected stamps. It's really cool because there's a bunch of rare counties that don't exist any more. Off the top of my head, he had a few Siam stamps, plenty of Soviet stamps, Manchukuo, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, British Palestine, the Kingdom of Afghanistan, practically every single pre-world war II British and French colony, even a couple Rhodesia stamps. Can't remember any Empire/Weimar Republic/Third Reich Germany, but he had east and west German stamps.

IIRC, he also had about 3-4 Ottoman Empire stamps, but I may be wrong there. I should really go dig it out one of these days and properly examine them. It's been years since I looked at it.

I also have a legit soviet officer's forage cap and a hammer and sickle flagpole pall like that my Ukrainian friend stole from his town hall (they never changed it I guess).

Junior badge fag here. I'll warn you to be frugal. Be careful as things can be too good and often what looks like nothing is something. Ebay has been good to me but I don't enjoy it compared to buying in person.

Here is the current state of the collection. I'd been trying to stay Brit until I picked up the Soviet badges recently. Mainly choosing at first to second world war. There's some crap on display here but also some gems.

You are correct, however it didn't serve alongside the Martini it served against it. It served alongside the Berdan rifle. The Krnka was outdated, clumsy and slow to fire compared to the more modern firearms so the Russians distributed them to the volunteers. The yatagan bayonets were probably captured. It was basically use whatever you find kind of war.

It would be an insult to the memory of ss victims to profit off his stuff imo, either destroy or give to a museum or something. Then again I imagine a lot of ancient artefacts were lost this way that we would like to still exist. After a while I suppose crimes just become history.

That's a bunch of bullshit. Collecting is a reality. His folks didn't want it, some collector does.

1. wehraboos out
2. There was, and still is among the older generation of Germans, a deep sense of bitterness and regret about the war for lots of reasons (that they lost; that they did the things they did; that so many died, that so many were uprooted, whatever). It is perfectly understandable for someone to vent that by burning their old uniform. Maybe he did it out of catharsis. It's his immediate family that think of him as a 'soldier' too, so of course he doesn't want to look at it/have it in his house if he's ashamed of it. No point in throwing it away, either.

I got this sword from my grandmother which she bought at a yardsale in the sixties/seventies IIRC.

I have no idea from what period the sword is from but the small amount of research I've done tells me that it might not be the original blade seeing as it's quite clearly a tulwar handle. If anyone knows anything about it please let me know as I'm dying to find out.

My grandmother basically kept it in her umbrella stand untill she gave it to me.

A Roman coin minted during the reign of Aurelian, Restitutor Orbis (215-275). Obverse is "IMP. AVRELIANVS AVG." with Aurelian's profile, and reverse is "FORTVNA REDVX", with Fortuna Redux, seated with a wheel. The coin may have been minted after a successful military campaign, as Fortuna Redux is an aspect of the goddess Fortuna associated with the safe return of soldiers and travelers. It may also have been minted after Aurelian's safe return to Rome, as it had been used by that point to commemorate such events.

I just bought this today (top one, bottom is a 90s Israeli pistol)

It's a VZ98N. The main Czechoslovakian WWII rifle, captured by Germans and assembled with various parts belonging to the main German WWII rifle, returned to the Czechs and then sent to Israel before the USSR terminated all of Czechoslovakia's small arms contracts, where it was rebarreled in Israel towards the later stages of its rebarreling process and may have seen use in the Six Day War, and then potentially sent to South America before arriving on the US market.

Fug.

I have a copy of an irish catholic bible from the early 1700s. I have a German air force military hat from 1989. I have a Romanian communist flag from Ceausescu time period which is a minimum of 35 years old. I additionally have some SS stuff back in Romania from some family. The irish book is weird mainly due to it being a heirloom in an orthodox family in Romania.

I don't know this for sure, but I'm almost definitely certain this is just a modern recreation of something. I don't really know the history of it at all because I've never had an interest in Ancient Egypt, but if anyone has more information, that'd be appreciated. Regardless, it makes a nice decoration for the room.

That's not egyptian. It's theoretically ancient greek, minoan (crete). You clearly see the figures are minoan. It's easy to confuse with a. egyptian art beacause minoans took some advice from them.

I really doubt that's ancient. There is no proof of time, not worn at all, the paint is on point, and i doubt you could have a slab of art 4000 years old just like that. The one who sold it to you would make more money selling it at the museum, or maybe the state would take it so a public museum can have it.

And some other stuff that my archaeologist grandfather gave to me over the years
I don't have any pics on hand though, and most of it is in storage at my parents', but they're among my most prized posessions

>>3228054
Yeah, I wasn't 99.99% certain that this was a recreation. I have no knowledge of how it came into my family's hands, but I assume they didn't pay a heavy fee for it. I did some further investigation and it appears to be a recreation of the Cupbearer Fresco from Knossos.

Not at home but I got (or rather my mother has) two crates of bones from a merovingian tomb.
Other than that there's a couple rusty lebels in the attic of a house I inherited.
That and a few briefases of watches and other small knick knacks like glasses, pens, cigaret cases.
And lastly an oil and petrol lamp collection from my grandpa.

You should have burned yourselves.

As things stand, the migrants you're importing are about to do it for you.

I have a pretty cool medal from the PCE (spanish communist party) that my great-grandfather got during his volonteering during the civil war.
Also, a nazi knife from someone he killed in the résistance (french).
And a history book from 1869 with some great maps, wich I think is worth a lot of money now.

Grandma recently died. As we were going through her stuff, we found memorabilia from the times of Franco. She had always told us that my grandfather was somehow related to him, but we always thought he was some distant cousin of little importance. We found several photos of my grandfather shaking hands with him dedicated to "my esteemed cousins" and signed by "Paco". There were postcards from his daughter Carmen wishing my grandfather well, and a phone that was apparently one of the few in Spain that didn't have a wiretap on it. I'm seriously reconsidering what kind of people my grandparents were.

>>3229107
Nice.
I bet a lot of spanish suffered for you to be what ou are today, buddy.

>>3229119
I've honestly reconsidered my whole life and upbringing because of it. I loved my grandparents, they were great to be around, but because of this I seriously put into doubt every moment I spent with them because of this.

>>3229137
They probably didn't talk about it after the Franco regime went down, for obvious reasons.

I have an Enfield that was made in 1916 which is pretty cool. Had a Martini-Franchotte from late 1800s that I sold to my friend so he could restore it better than I could. Some odd coins from different periods. About to have Good-bye To All That from 1923.

I want to get a few propaganda posters to hang up on my wall but I'm debating whether I want to spend money or not. I'm a NEET, so my money is finite.

All I got is military related things for the most part other then some Japanese money from around ww1

I can't retrieve them now, but I do have a scrimshaw swastika and iron cross and a walther my grandfather pilfered from a german officer that he stabbed in the neck in the battle of the bulge.

Kind of an accidental find but a cool one.
When I got my change back, I noticed a penny looked different from all the others. It's pretty common in my area to get Canadian pennies so I didnt think much of it. When I went to put it in my change jar, I noticed it said "United States" on it. I found out it was a penny from 1882, still being used in over 100 years.

He willed all the historical artifacts to his son but his bitch second wife wouldn't hand them over and the son is a fucking autist who won't fight her for it. I bet all that shit got sold off on ebay for a fraction of what it's worth.
