    Discounting my few fossils(!), the oldest item in my collection these days would be my Kaiser Wilhelm 100 year anniversary medal.

    The oldest piece in my military collection is this original
    1813 Iron cross.

    Other than that, I would have to say my Indian arrowheads.

    Great items guys. Keep them coming !

    The oldest item(s) I have are not military related - pictured below,
    an ammonite fossil - 65 million years old.

    The oldest piece of militaria I can think of is a British Crimean
    War medal, named to 'Pte. G. Rix, R.M. (Rodney)'
    that someone has polished :

    Glenn,
    Thanks so much.
    You are right, this is one of my favorite pieces.
    I found this one while surfing Ebay late one night.

    Good stuff is still out there, it's just a matter of
    having the patience to wait for it to turn up.

    Some of these knives in my collection are sterling silver fruit knives. They come from a time before stainless steel and were made from sterling to avoid rusting from the juices when used on fruit. The ones that are sterling are hall marked and some date from as far back as 1856. Some have mother of pearl handles and some are made entirely from sterling. Some are personalized and some even have faces on the handles.
    I also have a few fossils that I have found.
    Ralph.
