An interesting way to collect! Takes a lot of patience. Love that camo gas mask canister.

believe it or not, the WWI prussian sword was purchased in Tunisia. one hypothesis for me, a veteran of the fourth RTT ( 4ème régiment de tirailleurs tunisiens) took it back as a trophy. the other sword (without scabbard) is a 1882 model french officer sword

entering now the medal part, all the medals were purchased outside of Tunisia
