1784-1860 Militaria Collectibles
Militaria are a type of collectible that has immense historical value, and can be very exciting to find, and 1784-1860 is a fascinating, yet often overlooked, period of history. The term militaria refers to any of the many types of military collectible, such as medals, fatigues, guns, or basically anything that would be used by, or given to, someone in the military. Militaria are divided into two types, authentic original period pieces and reproductions. Why collect reproductions, you may wonder? Typically, reenactment hobbyists—people who recreate famous battles, dressed in full period military costume—use them.
