Korea (1950-53) Militaria Collectibles
The Korean War (1950-53) is one of the forgotten wars of American history, in many ways—but not to collectors of militaria. The brief but dramatic war, a ‘hot war’ that was the tip of the iceberg known as the Cold War, marked the first major conflict in the aftermath of the Second World War. The growing threat of Communist influence, in the form of China and the USSR, prompted the USA to take arms in Korea. For the collector of militaria, it presents many fascinating collectible options.Discount & Bargain
The Korean War was known for many things, most notably the first jet-to-jet air combat. On the ground, fighting was bitter and difficult, with the North Korean army supported by the Chinese. Although the Chinese were vast in number, they were ill-equipped, and the war was essentially a stand-off.
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. 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.
