We don't have a militaria forum, and really don't need one. On my doorstep just now was packages from "somewhere east of here".
Which contained stuff I scored at the militaria expo.
Here's an Italian Carabineri bicorn hat. There's supposed to be a red & blue plume, but it was missing. For the price, I'm not complaining.

A few tables away, I grabbed this artillery officer's hat. This one wasn't cheep, but we just don't see them in America.

Also in the box was this Puma bowie. Sharp as heck and heavy. If you dropped it on a bare foot, you would have a serious problem! These are much less expensive in Spain than here or Germany. Andrey tells me a lot of Pumas are made in Spain now.
Very high quality!

Now to save my Cheerios box tops and pick up aluminum cans so I can go back in 2 or 3 years!
