The Canuck collection

[smle1940]

Hi Guys, I'll start with a new thread, as I opened a new chapter in my 'collecting' career. Once I started with a small piece of barbed wire, and a WWI helmetshell found in the ground. Now I'm 22 and I'm specializing in Canadian military items. expecially the 3rd and 4th DIV. They liberated my region ;-). My dream is to open a museum one day. It doesn't has to be a large museum to inspire people. This time for my exhibition I've made a little shed (6.5mx6m) to put the collection in.
This exhibition was only open for 4 days! at the end of this year I'll do another one ;-)

enough talking, I'll let the pictures do the rest...

I started to collect when I was 12years old. I took it all, no mather what, even post-war items. But when I turned 15 I decided to go for the Canadians 'The Canucks'!! Now I'm 22 and this is the result of hard working and been a passionate collector ;-)

So My anwer would be 7years, as I don't count in the other 3...
