Collector USMC
Uniforms * Insignia * Equipment

This collector is a former Marine interested in the traditions of the Corps and in the insignia, dress and equipment worn by the Officers and men throughout its unique history.

The focus on this web site is the 4th and 5th Marine Brigades, the men of which served in France during the “Great War”. Images of Helmets and Tunics are displayed within which represent various units of these Marine Regiments. We maintain a diversified collection and we are interested in expanding it, as well as offering similar items for sale and trade.

World War II items are also displayed and reflect some of the unique insignia authorized by the Corps during that period of time. These uniforms and insignia have dramatic appeal and constitute a challenging range of variations for today’s serious Marine collector; excellent examples being still available. It is an awakening field of interest with opportunities for the acquisition of interesting and affordable items, sometimes directly from Marine’s who served in Theater.

Collector grade examples of uniforms and equipment which represent other U.S. Marine Corps periods of battlefield engagement may also be found within this site.

Items of collector interest, which represent unique or interesting variations of Militaria, are also depicted on this site, as well as Dress Uniforms from various eras.

Additionally, historical information relating to the Marines, their campaigns, insignia and equipment will be posted for general reading on this web site for the benefit of the interested collector and may be accessed by clicking on the Marine Collector.
