1919-38 Militaria Collectibles
1919-38 was a dark period in military history, when the storm clouds were gathering for the Second World War. This makes militaria from the period particularly fascinating to the collector. 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.

During this period, after a brief boom-time in the 1920s, the Nazis came to power in Germany and the fascists in Italy. Meanwhile, Japan became more and more aggressive militarily, imposing “the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” on its neighbors—a fancy term that simply meant Japan would invade them. This period also saw the rise of airpower, which would become the hallmark of military power in the Second World War. There are many interesting things to collect from this period, including uniforms and propaganda from the period.
Collecting militaria is a fascinating hobby, especially for the history buff. In the case of militaria, it really is possible to stumble across something that will one day end up in a museum like the Smithsonian. Militaria tend to appreciate in value, and be appreciated for its historical value. Some collectors of militaria turn it into an all-consuming passion—do you think your collection will one day contain a vintage biplane?
