blog intro
hello. my name is average.
a secret passion of mine is militaria collecting, which is a stark contrast from my other hobbies lol. i've always wanted to talk to other collectors and get more involved in the community. so here i am.
i consider myself an amateur. that's cause i don't collect only from a certain time period or certain region (yet), instead i go more off the base of "wow that's super cool, i should add it to the collection". the big theme of my interests though is ww1, ww2, and the cold war (i know its basic dont yell at me).
my posts have relatively the same structure. i usually introduce the item first. then i tell the story of how i came to own this item. finally, i deep dive into any research i did + information i found on the item.
i do my own research when it comes to identifying my items and what i write in this blog, so i can't guarentee that its correct. if anyone identifies any items or has any corrections, let me know. i always love learning more
this blog serves as a digital catalogue/personal archive for my collection, and a way for me to share my love for the hobby with all of you. my collection features militaria, but also other memorabilia and antiques, so those will be posted as well.
here is the master list of all the historical non-fiction and reference books in my collection.
i post about my art and writing over here (again, stark contrast with my other hobbies)
i reblog things over here
(updates to this blog are slow as i dont have access to my full collection at all times. i am at uni and didnt want to risk damage by taking it with me. i still love to post but just when i able.)
