I keep seeing a guy on e-bay selling parts of M1 Garands, would that help? He may have access to other stuff.

Thanks for replying.
I was looking more for patches and stuff like that, and possibly not eBayers.

Hi Luca,
I am afraid you are right.
Well, it seem that Internet is the only choice.

Well,sometimes there is someone living near Vicenza,where there is one of the biggest US Army base oputside US now home of the 173rd AB,that sell some militaria.Mostly is modern militaria,sometimes but not so often something older shows up by these sellers.Anyway they have no shop,they mainly sell at militaria shows.
There are also some dealers (they sell on internet too)that sell a lot of modern era american militaria,mostly for sof air fans.
Mainly we have to get the VN-WW2 and WW1 era items from american dealers....
When it comes on 2nd ww militaria something still shows up at fleamarkets around Italy,but in this case too not so often.
I guess it must be the same unsure.gif for american collectors looking for italian militaria in the States...
I have one internet address of a dealer who has a quite good catalog,anyway remember we are always talking about someone who get its stuff from the USA.

Don't know about dealers, but always saw intersting militaria at Military Vehicle Collectors Club -Italia events. Monthly flea market at Piazola sul Brenta between Vicenza and Padova was also a good source saw a lot of nice WW1 and WW2 stuff there, but little that was strictly US. Hope this helps Steve McG
