Hi Gary,
Sorry for the late reply - I just popped in here and noticed your post from a few days back. It’s reassuring to know that I have other old timers here with me! But at the same time it’s also reassuring to see that the younger generation also has an interest in military history.
Best,

I'm new to this forum. I'm Polish, born and raised, migrated to Canada in 1990, and now am serving in the Canadian Forces for the past 14 years. I would like to get back into my roots and history of Polish Military.
I was wondering if you guys could let me know as to where I can find WWII Polish military memorabilia. I love to start with the white eagles, and boy do I love your collection.
I hope you guys can help.
I get most of my things on ebay.
Ask Tony he`ll give you some tips
Beware theres lots of fake stuff!
Hi bohica032 , and welcome to the forum.
Here’s an edited reply I sent to a young collector a while back asking the same question:.
Collecting Polish militaria is an excellent way to learn about your ancestry and the history of Poland and if you’re careful can also prove to be a good investment. You will meet some great people and have lots of fun. But a word of warning . . . it is said that next to German militaria the most faked are Polish items. So please be very cautious before buying anything. In fact, your first investment should be in good reference literature and study time. Participatiion in forums such as this one is another excellent way of preparation before shelling out hard earned cash. The market is flooded with copies and counterfeits of absolutely everything. And even seasoned collectors can get duped by products created using new computer aided faking techniques.
While I certainly don’t want to frighten you away, it cannot be over stressed how dangerous the hobby can be if you rush ahead and start buying up all those wonderful old looking artifacts displaying a Polish crowned white eagle. Take it slow and easy and assume first that everything is a copy until it is verified as genuine. And keep posting your questions on sites like this.
Best regards,
Tony
