Military Collectors Society of Florida, Inc. - Collecting items from World War I, World War II, Etc.

Collecting military items has become a popular and widely accepted hobby, and is probably more active than many other fields of collecting. Since Ancient times, men have collected military gear. Victorious warriors returned home from battle with arms captured from the enemy, and proudly displayed them on the walls of their homes. Fighting men have always collected souvenirs, but as the veteran aged, interest was gradually lost in those military adventures. The Relics were hidden away, given away, pawned, destroyed, lost, or thrown away. After World War II is conditioned was reduced by increased regard for military relics, that has grown and spread to international scope. The most popular relics today are those of the Civil War, Imperial Germany, and World War II American, German, Italian, and Japanese, items.

Militaria collecting includes military guns, edged weapons, uniforms and gear, flags, medals, accoutrements, and many other related items carried or worn by those who engaged in the campaigns and struggles during our country’s history. Also including those of enemies, our country has defeated in defense of our freedom. The “Militaria Collector’s Society of Florida” is presently comprised of members who collect militaria from the Medievel, to the Desert Storm eras. The purpose of our society is:

To promote the knowledge, study and preservation of military relics, and the recognition of their place in the history of our country.
To encourage and support militaria collectors in the pursuit of their hobby.
To provide a forum enabling acknowledged militaria experts to disseminate knowledge and information to the collector.
To cooperate in the exchange of information and artifacts between military collectors in the furtherance of discovery, acquisition, identification, and research of military relics.
To preserve our history for future generations.
