HUNGARY, Medal for the Liberation of Transylvania, 1940

DescriptionHungary lost most of its territory after World War I. In 1940 Romania was leaned on by Russia and Bulgaria to give back parts of Transylvania. After World War II Romania took back that territory.Medals, awards, decoration, insignia, documents, equipment, of military, police, private, and irregular military style organizations. We sometimes sell small weapons but we do not sell working firearms. If a thing happens to be military but is hundreds of years old I stop thinking of it as a military thing and start thinking of it as a relic or an antiquity. I suppose that means that “militaria” really starts around the middle of the 19th century or so, when uniforms became normal. Does that seem right to you?Over the decades I’ve been selling collectibles my market has been about 97% coins, 2% paper money, 1% everything else.
