COLLECTING

Original Marine Raider militaria is rare, but attainable. On eBay recently there was a Raider stiletto-type fighting knife for £1,039 and a service uniform jacket for £325. Period photos sell from £7.56, reproduction patches from £5, and an original 2nd Division skull patch is currently offered for £121 - this is considered exceedingly rare. Regular Marine Corps militaria is less expensive and more widely available.
