Yes, htis thread is ancient and those who were in it are sometimes not even active members on the forum anymore. I suggest you use a similar thread like "the show us your newest militaria" etc... Rogueslease do not comment on this thread anymore.
why ? is it verboten Skip ? personally I would be glad to see some of the old archiv's resurrected to compare with many posts of the last 2 years which have been truly bizarre
I have been collecting German militaria for around 15 years now, although I have grown up with an interest in WW2 history. I collect tunics, headgear, awards, citations & Wehrpass/Soldbuchs with my main interest being the Wehrpass/Soldbuchs & award citations. Favourite items in my collection would be: Grossdeutschland combat tunic which belonged to Oberleutnant Hans-Karl Richter complete with his sewn on DKiG (and I also have his postwar Bundeswehr ribbon bar) (he can be seen wearing the very tunic on pages 198/199 of God, Honor, Fatherland) KG Boelke tunic which belonged to Obergefreiten Georg Holten (KIA 1944 when his HE-111 was shot down) Officers visor to a member of 17th Infantry Rgt (complete with the totenkopf) Absolute mint condition Cased EKI EK citation to a member of Wiking signed by Felix Steiner Soldbuch to a member of the Gebirgsjager who served from the first day of the war to the last, winning an EK in Poland 1939.
i use to have a big collection but now that has shrunk a bit , had to get rid of some of the rifles as the laws in my country changed and they where illegal........i still have a large collection or real and fake stuff (Fallschirmjager and Panzergrenadier), but i dont do much re-enactment anymore as most of the clubs in my area arn't really well organised..........the best parts of my collection are the german para equipment .......uniform , smock, bandolier , belt ,boots and helmut
