Dang. I be in the minority again. LOL the greater part of my collection is WWI CEF Medals, but I am all over the board in regard to Collection time frame. As long as it is Canadian.

Hitler Youth here. Guess pre-WW2 and during WW2 would count for this. I also collect Third Reich era propaganda, such as posters. :)

It is too late for me to do the poll?  It does not seem active anymore.

Combat helmets of the 20th century, nothing high-end; strictly garden variety.  Its a fascinating hobby which I enjoy immensely and, lucky for me, my wife is very good sport about it all.

Hi Lenny, I found it.  It was in the margin on the main screen.  I thought it was in this thread.  Thank you for looking.

I pick up just about anything I can find and learn all I can about it before I flip it to keep on going. Not much disposable income these day to collect much of anything but my keepers are usually stuff I can use. A few Jackets and guns, Pouches and bags, and all of my flashlights around the house and garage are military from VN era. Stuff like that I would buy anyway that is just more fun to have as a vintage military version.
