Books.
I have been able to purchase some 19th century literature, it was surprisingly cheap.
I am also collecting books on music history.

Here are some knives that ended up in my possession. Sorry about the pic quality -- I'm anything but a good photographer

From the left, 3 + 4 and 6 + 7 are bayonets. Nr. 4 is the fake we discussed above

The two bumps in the bottom of the pic are my feet

The blade, 5th from the left, looks like a Marine K-bar.

It's made to ka-bar dimensions, but I think that's a fake too -- US workmanship is usually much better, and the price was about half what I'd expect to pay for a real one. Maybe I should call it a "genuine fake" -- at least it has USMC on the scabbard

I use to collect G43/K43 German WWII rifles. They are proof that the German made brand does not necessarily mean the best. The rifle breaks easily and I would call it unreliable. However, I could not collect MP44's, MP40's, MG34's or MG42's and K98K's weren't that interesting to me. Thus my hoarding instincts got the better of me for a number of years regarding this weapon. A few of the accumulation are very nice, but most are just average and a few are piss poor bubba'd examples.
