Im 14 and i started collecting when I was around 9. I dont really have too much stuff, I mean its not that cheap :P I do however have a german ww1 ersatz, a british mk4 helmet, some other hats, a gas mask, a wild tiger corps p1907 bayonet and a wild tiger corps no1mk3 lee enfield. I also have some (deac) ordnance. When i turn 18 ill get my own gun license (im using a family members) and i am looking to collect weapons. It is so hard to get fire arms here in canada
I dont know any other teens who collect so its nice to share a forum with you guys :P

P.S. Lt. Martin, I salute you for going through so much effort to honor those war dead, bravo to you. And btw, i really envy your collection :P

if you enjoy militaria collecting & history now when your a teen your going to become a life long collector , because you already have a natural interest.

most people Ive met in the hobby had an interest in militaria since childhood

I'm 16 and have been collecting since around 2007. I mainly collect rifles, ammo, bayonets, helmets and other weapon related things.

Hey banksy, I have got a few things of my great grandas who served in WWI as an Electrician on the USS Narragansett. I have got a couple of his log books that he wrote on and his locker key. I also have the name plaque that was on the Narragansett that he took off when they thought the ship was sinking. I also have a Post WWII shovel/pick with a WWII cover that I found in my grandpas garage. I will put up some pictures on the "show your collection thread", but I don't have a whole lot to show right now.
