My father died back in January, and he left a pretty damned large WW1 collection, which we are going to liquidate.

Who're the good militaria dealers these days? I know about Mannions, Doughboy, and a few others...

The collection ranges from unissued web gear to unissued uniform pieces to unsmoked Lucky Strikes to documents signed by Paul von Hindenburg and Pershing (not jointly, of course).

I'm not looking for a low-baller who says I'll do you a favor and give you 800 for it all.

Pics to follow.

Is this museum quality stuff? Maybe explore that avenue

Any of it Aggie related?

Almost all of it is museum grade.

The aggie colln. Is mine to worry about in a while. It's as big or bigger.

I have a filthy rich cousin that's a collector by hobby. Message for details if you're interested in piecing it off.

tell us more about the aggie plates on the wall

They are acid etched aluminum, done in the 50s / 60s by engineering students.

the Aggie collection will be liquidated soon. WW1 1st, though.

Can't hell with that sale, but that's a very nice collection.

gracias. The A&M side is even better.

Negatives of Old Main burning, a 1908 class ring, a set of TAMC china, cadet grey uniforms, almost every Longhorn / Aggieland.....

updated with more pics.
