Great finds in your gear

I found a blue VDV beret in my 6b4, maybe the seller threw it in there, but I'm happy to own it.
Also, as I'm collecting Russian stuff, there were a lot of sunflower seeds and pistachio shells.

i recently purchased a bundeswehr parka and found these shoulder board sleeves in the top pocket so bonus

Really,what size were they!!!!

Over the years ,train tickets, camo neck scarf, hand written coordinates, halve eaten bar of Yorkie (MoD issue not shop bought), loads of bloody used waxy ear plugs, Beret sans a badge, money , and an adjustable spanner which I was well pleased with,and tonnes of rubbish, sweet wrappers, pens lids, halve eaten pencils, a tampon!!!!!

Sadly I have never found anything of real financial value to cover the cost of the item !!

Bought a cheap set of 58 Patt webbing(only the webbing,no contants)-when it arrived it had SLR mags(empty),cleaning kit etc still in the pouches

Over the year, i got ammo (7.62 rounds but since it's a USA local buy so not a big deal), tickets, supermarket receipt, supermarket bag, ICA Card (Like a bank card in swedish) Freedom eagle money card, movie stud, used ladies tempon - Twice..... This is common find.

I once found half a eaten burger inside a pouch from a UK seller......Origin of the burger is unknown...Probably a Mackey D's.
The nastiest stuff i ever found is a Used Condom on a camo shirt pocket. (from a Japanese Buy)
The most scary find is a jar (or rather a tube) labelled "BIOHAZARD" inside was some liquid off a used military container...
The most delighted found was a named and serialled DSC medal felt out from the pocket of a class A uniform wheni ot it from USPS. I returned it to the rightful owner immediately after i founded out.

I never got money out from my buy yet...

The following i does not know whether or not it suit the topic.

I once bought a 50 pack 9mm bullet case for reloading, but the seller mail me a factory made 9mm bullet.
I once bought a Sniper rifle in the US and the gun was mail deliver to me with a round chambered inside.......
I once bought a used car (caddy) and comes with a loaded .45 pistol in the glove

I just want to make my self clear here, I am a Brit, I have a warped sense of humour ( some may say asinine).

Therefore I am in no way interested in these at all...besides I am a size 12 at least

Darn and blast it,that's not good Mate,I resent not being able to wear my collectables, so I fully fully understand your frustration,On a more serious note , if they were able to be resized and available in a splendid Daguet pattern, I would be interested in a trade with you Graham, I have a wonderful pair of genuine French bloomers WW2 vintage no less.One previous owner,and not too many miles on the clock. Well have a think about it, and let me know. I am rather keen to be rid of them to be honest

Oh ,before I forget they are indeed a size 14 !

MMMM that is intresting No skids in the french bloomers

loski wrote:MMMM that is intresting No skids in the french bloomers

Hmmm, well maybe a few , but they are historic stains and would probably add to the overall value of them, if you wished to trade them on at a later date

I think I will pass this one up as I may have a job explaining the possesion of a pair of bloomers to my wife LOL

Fair enough Mate I understand, they may not be acceptable as a genuine militaria collecting, back to drawing board me thinks....Hmmm, ebay sells knickers

As far away from panties as one can get ...........

I found a 50 Francs coin in a pocket of a French jacket recently, the coin is dated 1951, pity it did not cover the postage,them's the breaks I guess!!!

Also found some ID tags in a DPM jacket , I got from a carboot sale last weekend, but no money.

Just found these gold coins in a pocket of an old Polish deszczyk jacket...

If they are solid gold you are on to a winner there

Wish they were....

Not pure gold, but also precious, these are collectible coins. My father-in-law ("I`m the law" ) would say more about them.

I bought a US Woodland large assault pack this past weekend from a surplus dealer. I pulled the plastic back and padding out of the pocket and found a book of Sudoku puzzles stuffed in there.
I'm convinced 'Sudoku' is Japanese for 'annoying number puzzle'.

Found a pair of Army Combat Gloves in the pockets of one of the OCP shirts i bought recently

I bought a set of 58 patt webbing, in the poncho roll was a US Vietnam era experimental tiger stripe poncho.
I paid £5 and sold the poncho for £200. wish i had kept it :-(

So far in the past week I've found a velcro name tab and teaspoon in the pockets of a jacket.......hmmmm maybe something good will turn up one day?

In the pocket of a recent USAF APECS Goretex Jacket a nice slip on rank tab,pair of manky foam earplugs and some electrical looking part-RELAY POLARIZED

very interesting the things found in the uniform, I know check all the time
