    I have a few small end Luftwaffe items for sale. I was thinking that there might be those out there who would enjoy getting a start on some material with out a high cost.

    I have a Luftwaffe EM combat grade belt buckle with most of the combat "feldblau" paint worn off on the obverse, but it still retains paint around the wreath and oval backing behind the eagle. There is no damage to it. Both tab prongs intact.
    $50

    I also have two Luftwaffe EM grade eagles. One is for the tunic breast. Mint condition. $20. The other is for the cap. The cap eagle has some construction paper stuck to it from some where it used to reside, but not by me. $10.

    You can buy the pair for $25.

    I'll pay U.S. domestic postage. O'seas forum members please add $5 for air mail. Anything over that, I'll pick up the tab.

    Be good to each other.

    Bill

    Greetings -

    The two Luftwaffe eagles just sold this morning to a buyer who contacted me by pm. Thank you to the purchaser.

    I still have the Luftwaffe EM belt buckle available for $50. If anyone is interested, please contact me. I can't post pictures here due to my inability to do so, however, if you pm me with your email address, I would be glad to send you pictures of any item directly.

    I am NOT a dealer. Just a collector attempting to move a few things for myself at prices that I paid directly hoping to keep costs down.

    I think Carl would be willing to vouch for me.

    As I continue to thin things out, I will put up a few more things from time to time.

    Have a great day.

    Bill

    Vouch I will.


    I bought a VERY nice Legion Kondor Black Wound Badge from him and this badge was in BETTER condition then he said it was in and I got this badge at less than half it's true value.

    If there was anything wrong with it--I was notified. Bill said that the catch had been repaired--and it was and you can hardly tell that it was repaired.

    Volkbert will soon have a pic of this badge to post here as well. [​IMG]

    Well, unfortunately no, not here. I am trying to help some of these younger guys out by locating German militaria items for truly reasonable prices. If not from me directly, then THROUGH me.

    But, it is tough to do here it seems, even though I am making the attempt to do so. However, I AM listing items on other web sights, and if it moves, it moves.

    Like I said previously, I am NOT a dealer, just a collector trying to assist new guys wanting to start out with maybe a smaller collection of what ever, by keeping prices SLIGHTLY above, or directly AT what I paid for them initially.

    I'll keep listing a few things here and there, but if they sell else where, and I have made the sale there, but listed it here too, I feel obligated to indicate the sale of the item in where ever I have listed it in.

    One of the things that would be helpful maybe is the ability to show a pic directly on this forum which I am unable to do, and I don't wish to bother other members to do this for me. It's bad enough they are willing to "host" other pic's for educational threads. Maybe this will change too.

    By the way Carl, my Luft. KUBAN shield came in, and it's a beauty. Been searching for ten years for one of these that I deemed original and worthy of purchasing.

    Be good to each other.

    Bill

    Hi Bill--that's what I figured but--was also wanting to point out to them here that good stuff is listed to be sold here. I'm hoping this can help get the ball started here as well.

    Oh and BTW--I like very much that book on Galland that I bought from you. It's going to be one of my next books to read. [​IMG]

    Speaking of photographic posting capabilities. I just wrote to Otto a long letter expressing my wishes on it and i'm hoping to get some word soon. [​IMG]

    I'm most definately interested in seeing that Kuban shield. I Still do not own an example. :(

    There is a really good publication out that might help you on those DAF, and Arbeitsbuch's that I sent you too. It's called "Papers Please". Unfortunately, I am unsure where to direct you to find a copy. It came out back in 1996.
