Militaria collecting is a hobby that involves the acquisition and preservation of military-related artifacts and memorabilia.

The world of military collecting can be highly competitive, with collectors often seeking out rare and one-of-a-kind pieces to add to their collections. Militaria can include items such as uniforms, firearms, edged weapons, medals, badges, helmets, headdress, flags, photographs, and documents, among others.
