Default Greetings from Melbourne

Hi All,
Great site , thought id introduce myself. Been collecting militaria since I was a kid , these days I still collect for myself , buy , swap and sell items on Ebay for over 10 years as a hobby. Im not here to flog my own stuff. Don't need to.
My main interests are Australian RAAF ,RAN , Army and US Airborne Items.
Ive got a database of over 3000 images of items that I've either had or still got which comes in handy as reference photos. Im no expert of anything but reasonable good overall with a lot of everything.
I also have a pretty good collection of fakes from the pre internet days that I keep in a special box. I never throw anything out and keep them as a reminder.
I also have plenty of oddities left over from bulk lot buys.
Cheers .

Welcome aboard , happy to have any new members. Have you travelled up to Swan Hill and looked round the military museum there? I visited Australia years ago and spotted it in passing and found it very interesting and they had quite a large collection of cap badges.
