Johnny Shiloh Posted April 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2020 Hello, Thank you for allowing me to join your group. My name is Rick and collect different military items. Helmets, bayonets, field gear, uniforms, and some personal effects. Anywhere from eastern block (mainly East German), WW2 (mainly U.S. but some German too) to current U.S. military equipment, uniforms and in between periods. I'm also a crazy nut about the U.S. Civil War primarily uniforms, equipment, and how they were made. Federal and Confederate. I can't afford to buy them so I research them instead. I look forward to expanding my knowledge via these forums. From what I've already seen there is hours and hours of research that I can't wait to peruse. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted April 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2020 Welcome! This is a great place to hang out and learn a thing or two. If you haven't already, go on over to our World Militaria Forum. It's new and still building, so new contributors are welcome there too. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backtheattack Posted April 5, 2020 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2020 Hello Rick, welcome to the forum! East German is a theme it bring me back to my youth, living then only 8 kilometres away from the iron curtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Shiloh Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted April 6, 2020 Thanks Mikie, I'll definitely go and check out the World Military Forum. Thanks Backtheattack, I was collecting East German stuff when I was younger too. Mainly because it was so cheap and plentiful. It must of been interesting and I'm sure a little scary living so close to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
