Hey /his/, I was wondering what sort of historical paraphernalia and trinkets you guys are interested in or collect. I'm a pleb that just has a Soviet Chernobyl liquidator's medal that I picked up five years back. I'm planning on giving it to my nephew next year on his eighteenth birthday and giving him a spiel on the human condition and the importance of duty and responsibility (and unless I go broke I'll also give him an extra thicc wad of twenties).
I really don't have wall or shelf space to meaningfully amass a collection of shit, I'm just interested if you fellas have a niche or a general interest in artifacts or the castings of mundane past life.

>comrade, your nation needs you to put on suit and slog through glowing trash
>"such is life in suburbs of Pripyat"
Maybe I can spin it into a "you can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven" story if he questions my logic?

i think saying that life is more important than he is, that sacrifices need to be made and what not
>3283875 I don't have too much in historical trinkets except these WW1 medals from my Great Grandad and a bone of a cow his son brought back from ww2 for some reason. The ww2 guys medals r with my cousin.
