Probably one of the oddest things I've seen folks collect is the 18th-19th century memorial plaques/frames with a lock of their loved ones hair. Not so much odd that this was a practice in past centuries but more the fact that now some people collect them.  To each their own I guess.

Any more new examples?

Extremely rare, Crye Precision custom G1 combat shirt in marpat desert. This is not aro1 camo, as you see in the photos it has the usmc EGA in the camo pattern. It also has the original G1 elbow pads. Usual when you find the G1 shirts they are usually missing the elbow pads. I bought this from a navy sarc corpsman who worked with Recon and MARSOC marines. He personally worked with the guy who wore this shirt. He was a 1st recon/MARSOC marine this was his combat shirt he wore. For some reason the marine who wore this was actually planning to throw it away. The sarc cropsman didn't want to see this get thrown out so he saved it from the trash. Unfortunately he never got the G1 pants just this G1 shirt.        

No, the 40mm Army round is in my collection. I will mention that it took several years until I found an Army 40mm HE projectile.

WHOA!!! Nice bunch of helmets!!!

It’s sewn to a kids “tanker” jacket that appears to be made from an m43 jacket. 

Yah definitely one of the best unmessed with ones I’ve seen, the paint and the liner are in great shape. Congrats!

Always need to see the reverse 

Oh that’s gotta be one of the coolest grabs…nice man cave piece….    old air base security copter?

Thanks GF.  I have had many over the years, but this is one of the nicest I have encountered in "The Wild".  If I was ever going to want one for my "no longer existing collection", this would be the one.  It would be tough to improve on.     Thanks again!     OD
