Show us your militaria...

Nice stuff, Gents!
This is as exciting as my own collection gets-my old man's Battledress insignia:


That's L. of C. sigs., Royal Corps of Signals, 78th (Battleaxe) Infantry Div.

 

good morning

heres a small Luftwaffe tidbit run by the Fünker for bombers, reecon and night fighters. the equivalent of the modern day air-compass



the reverse side:

 

Nice stuff guys. Erich... now I'm lost for sure...

How about an SS-Gruppenfuhrer und Generalleutnant der Waffen-SS tunic... upping the ante guys...

 

That's amazing !

In stark contrast, my collection of inert WWII aircraft ammunition which has taken years to put together : -

 

Way cool militaria fellows. Awesome stuff, especially the assault rifle and panzerschreck

 

Hey Martin, great stuff. Are all of these from the same country, or different? What range are the calibres? I like the two linked on the right end. What are they?

Bob

 

From the left :

3cm MK101/103 German
3cm MK108 M-Geschoss Ausf. A ( German )
3cm MK108 M-Geschoss Ausf. C ( German )

2cm MG-FF Incendiary ( German )

And then two MG151 ( AP & HE ) linked.

 

Great collection ! However you are missing an 88mm
When you get one in the future don't put it on the mantel, stick it by the firebox.

 

I think the 88mm was too large of a calibre to qualify for AIRCRAFT munitions. Maybe if Martin were to start a collection of ARTILLERY or TANK munitions, then he could get an 88mm. You have to stay within the guidelines there TA152. It's like coloring outside the lines!

very fascinating martin although i collect vehicles of war, i would love to start collecting munitions...i just cant find so much time to do that these days...

 

Great collection Martin hope to see more in the future.

 

I have a friend that collect all of the WWII German mines and does a great job with a lecture on them during living history presentations. He and his unit reenact as WWII German Mountain Troops. This guy has a single barrel 20mm Flak cannon and just bought a German-built 1934 Ford flatbed truck to mount the 20mm Flak gun on. Another guy has a 37mm anti-tank gun. Not to mention the MG34s and MG42s. What a mass of firepower these guys have.

Whatever you say....

 

I would like to say something smart but you have left me speechless !

 

Wonderful collections everyone.

 

Yes, thanx for the pics, great items!

Personally I have only collected books until spring 2004 and since I have mainly collected Finnish WW2 medals ( as well as books ).

My favourite medal, the Winter War medal



The clasp is for different parts of the front.

I also have the later version of the SS-division cross for the Finnish Waffen-SS men in Wiking division ( not this one in the pic which is from the net ).

 

if my digi cam wasnt broken, i would upload a few pics of my vehicles and a few or my ww2 uniform items...

 

Just drive them up on your flatbed scanner!

Bob

 

YES, this does look like a worthless piece of crap...but i am buying it to restore...does it look like a gamble or what?

 

i have more to come...
