I too have a small collection of fossils etc. But in terms of militaria the oldest item I have is probably a Napoleonic era British Artillery button that came in a box of odds at auction. The one in the photo isn't mine (can't find it at the moment) but is just like it
Difficult to date accurately but my 2 canteen rings (one found in SS positions in North Karelia) are thought to date from the late 1920s, possibly with a Freikorps connection.
ive got these two mugs or cups. it was said that my grandpar got for marksmenship. in lucknow. india. 1922. he has scratched in the bottom of one, 1922 lucknow.
Nice items so far. I have this flintlock military pistol, c.1815. Also a Victorian Rifle Volunteer officers Sword, and an Enfield P53 Rifled Musket dated 1855. The P53 has some missing pieces in this photograph, (sling, sight, ramrod) it has since been completed.
