Toy Soldiers (Britains Deetail) plus a couple of oddities, you spot them.

Airguns for me, mostly rifles. Most could be described as projects.
I'll get round to sorting them all at some point.
I'm in the middle of a nice Air-Arms TX200 project, just need to decide on finish. Traditional bluing or a coloured Cerakote finish.

50p and two pound coins,got quite a few(all had in my change),got the kew gardens 50p and as its not really a serious collection,just something that happened i'm thinking about ebaying it(seen them go from £50 to about £90 atm crazily enough, and going up),but i'm paranoid some chancer will buy it and raise a dispute saying its fake and send me a fake one back,paranoid I know but I really don't trust ebay these days.Think i'll keep it anyway.

Bike tat. Mostly obsolete parts which I don't get around to either building, using or selling. Changing standards mean that most of the spare room is taken up with stuff of no current value but which was once expensive.

Well, I've got a folding machete that was issued to US paratroopers during WW2, and a Kukhri from the same period, both of which belonged to my dad, but as he died when I was thirteen, I never found out exactly how he got them.
However, he was an engineer with the RAF in Singapore, and was there when it fell to the Japanese, thus becoming a POW in Changi, and there were Gurkha guards there, I guess he acquired them when Singapore was liberated.
I've no plans on acquiring any more, though, and they aren't leaving my possession either.

Two good knives you got there with good story behind them too.

The folding machete is interesting because it is not commonly seen nowadays, Khukri is much common.

I want to collect SE Asia "survival" knives ... well, more like utility do-it-all knives to be honest as most people there use it for gardening ... 😆

I'm developing a collection of crap snow globes. The crappier the better. Got a great one on my desk at work a girl at work got me, the water is half gone and it's got a terrible picture of the hoover dam on it. It's proper tat.

Only a small collection for now, about 6.

I have a complete set of The Ride Journal which I guess became a collection as I had to buy each one that came out as I didn't want to miss one.

12k songs on a micro SD card. A minimalist's guilty pleasure.

I've come by complete accident into owning a few drawings and pictures signed by W.E Johns, Johnnie Johnson, Douglas Bader and a Hurricane pilot (can't remember the name) with 23 odd kills.

I might take that kew gardens off your hand for a reasonable sum mikey3. No eBay chancers to deal with. Drop me a PM if you're interested.

Some serious watches there Jeff. You could probably by a bike company or two let alone a bike with that lot!

Love the Lange & Sohne.

Yeah, it gets out of hand pretty quickly. At least they can be hidden away pretty securely - some of them are now worth about as much as my first house!

I really like the Lange also, the movement is incredible but it's very under the radar so I can wear it any time with pretty much any attire. It's currently away for routine service which I've been told will be 10 weeks just to get a quote. I'm expecting the quote to be in the 'you could get a nice bike for that' territory....
