Hi, My name is Dean and i live in the East Midlands (England). I’ve been studying and collecting militaria for around 30 years with my main area of interest the Third Reich, and even more specifically Political and Party items. I don’t know why but that’s what i’ve gravitated to over the years. I currently have a reasonably sized collection, although it would be very small compared to some but huge compared to others, I suppose it depends on your perspective!. I’m always on the lookout for new additions and also move things on to raise funds for new purchases (or simply exchange items). But for the moment i’ll just be having a good look around the forum learning a few things while also getting to know some fellow historians/researchers/collectors. I look forward to talking to you all. Cheers, Dean
