[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2230241, member: 24446"] I collect guns mostly ones that appeal to me for whatever reason but my truest love in the gun world are "old west era" items with U.S. Cavalry being my favorite. I have a beautiful 1873 Springfield carbine (sadly it's a cut down but from what I've been told it was probably done during the era and they did an amazing job). I really want an 1873 Colt SAA and a Cavalry saber to go with it but that's not in the budget so for now I'm just looking for anything related like maybe a bridle/bit with the US markings, hat pins from the time basically anything "old west". I also collect helmets of all kinds but my favorites are military helmets and flight helmets. I have some fire helmets, a last Gen "steel pot", a helicopter flight helmet, several current Gen ballistic helmets. I don't know why I love them but I do and I'm always watching out for another. My largest collection though, by far, are teddy bears :). I'm not sure how many I have but I would say it's probably around 60 or 70. I LOVE teddy bears! lol...I can't resist them...they are soooo cute! Anywho...that's about it. Guns, helmets and teddy bears :). [/QUOTE]
