Great to see the contributions posted so far, some truly great pick ups and it seems a lot of us had a good year. I could easily have posted half a dozen great pick ups this year in different categories.

Whatever its just an opinion.
I always look forward to this thread
Great idea this thread Jerry.
I have picked up a few wound badges, pins, and some
nice medals, but I guess my 'favourite' is the U.S.
sword below. It's not a perfect or complete
example ( no scabbard ) but a good
representative piece.
Wanted one for years and will likely buy more old
swords in the future.........

Hi all, there are some very impressive items on this thread, Glenn your book owned by Claus von Stauffenberg has to be my favourite he is one of my favourite historical figures. One of my favourite items i purchased this year was a British battledress owned by a colonel who served in both the first and second world wars and i was also able to get the book he wrote of his exploits.
Here is a link to the full thread:

Here are some of my best finds of the year:
Mint M42 single decal heer helmet found at a local gun show
CAG tan Binoculars I found at an antique store for $37
Mint K98 bayonet, vet bring back I found at a yard sale for $40
Cheers, Warbuff
Such a hard decision. Three items I picked up this year are pictured but if I really have to choose one then it'd be the poppies.
I think they date from the 1920s but can't be certain.
