Current Militaria (2001-Now) Militaria Collectibles
Militaria, to the collector, is a chance to own a slice of history… And history is happening right now. From 9-11 to the blunders of the Bush administration in its preemptive invasion of Iraq, this period will be looked back on an epic, if not enlightened, period. Thus it is a good time to collect contemporary militaria while it is still very affordable. 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.

Seeing as this is the era we are in, its militaria are as affordable as it is ever likely to be. This era will surely be remembered as one of the most dramatic, traumatic and definitive in history. We don’t know how it will turn out yet, but the war between the west and the forces of Islamic extremism is epic and global in scale and scope. The war in Iraq has many parallels with the Vietnam war, yet it is the war in Afghanistan that, in the long run, may determine our fate.
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.
