Description
So a guy gets this for his girlfriend. She gets a charm with a naked Eve associated with the tree that got them expelled from Eden. And she had it put on a charm bracelet that she wore. There’s no name engraved on the reverse, though. The thing basically says “this is not silver.” Meaning he paid probably 10 cents for it. She knew that. Maybe she appreciated the gift anyway. Maybe she couldn’t read.
Medals, awards, decoration, insignia, documents, equipment, of military, police, private, and irregular military style organizations. We sometimes sell small weapons but we do not sell working firearms. If a thing happens to be military but is hundreds of years old I stop thinking of it as a military thing and start thinking of it as a relic or an antiquity. I suppose that means that “militaria” really starts around the middle of the 19th century or so, when uniforms became normal. Does that seem right to you?
Over the decades I’ve been selling collectibles my market has been about 97% coins, 2% paper money, 1% everything else.
