I had the itch to check out some antique stores that I hadn’t been to in awhile. I went to a total of three shops today and each one produced a decent amount of militaria.
At the first two shops I found your typical American finds, but at the last shop I ended up finding a well worn German belt for only $25! I guess the seller assumed it was just your run of the mill old leather belt. I picked up this cool hand painted piece of naval artwork too. It looks like it was painted on an old section of burlap. For some reason it has two marksman badges pinned to it. The painting was only $8, which I thought was a steal so I bought it.
Just thought you guys would like to take a look at what I was able to find today. It goes to show that there is still militaria out there waiting to be found.
P.S.- The belt unfortunately has two small holes punched in it for some type of paracord rope attachment. I can only assume it was modified this way by the GI who brought it back.
