Today, the collecting of militaria is an established hobby among many groups of people. Many European families, specifically those royal families with long martial tradition, have large collections of militaria passed down from generation to generation. Also, many people today collect militaria for investment purposes. An alternate name, used by many dealers, for militaria is 'military antiquities' or 'military antiques'.
