I have just joined this forum today but have been viewing it for a few months. I would first like to say how great this forum is, and would like to thank the moderators and Ade for all of the brilliant contributions to this forum and in keeping everything in order.

Now iam 14, but i started taking up interest in this subject since before i was 10. I have been doing lots of reading and research and i have never been bored of the subject. Problem is, my knowledge exceeds my collection, which contains only a few items passed down from my ancestors. :confused:

Because i have studied my friends and family friends’ collections for a while now, i thought that it was time that i get started, and i thought this would be a good place to start.:)

I have long been interested in german militaria ( who isn’t? :D) and also a little canadian militaria, from ww2. So i have come here to start collecting, and i will ask that if there are some items amongst your collections that you believe are good stepping stones to a collection( aka dont have to be rare or expensive), and you want to sell them, Then iam here! They can be rusty or shiny, big or small, but as long as you think they are good for a new collector, then you’ve got some possible interest here:) You can send me a PM or just reply to this thread, whatever suits you!

Thanks very much for your time, and for accepting me into your community!

Thanks again,
Dolan
