Think You're Ready To Start Collecting?

If you're new to collecting Third Reich Militaria here is a little quiz that may help you decide if you're really ready to start spending money. Below are pictures of 12 items. All of them are popular collectibles and are frequently encountered on dealer web sites, gun shows, etc... From just these pictures you should be able to tell if the item is an original or a fake. Make a list with your answers and you can check it against the correct answers at the bottom of this article. Good luck (...and it really shouldn't be luck!)

Here is the answer to the quiz. The following are Original: 1,2,3,4,5,12. And the Fakes are: 6,7,8,9,10,11. If you got all 12 correct then go ahead and start collecting. If you got 11 right, collect but be careful. If you got 10 right you need more study and if you got 9 or less right you're a prime candidate to get ripped off! This little quiz was all in fun, but the results should be take seriously. Afterall, mistakes here are free but in the marketplace they can cost you money.
