OH! and i need to get some british,russian,austrailian stuff 2!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hello Jason 4473,

No please do, there is a thread under Militaria, termed German Imperial Militaria - which I started last year - and was upkept by some great guys. I also forwarded that it would be a pleasure for me to see items from other countries too - covering the time from 1850 - 1918.

Or you might post it in "SKIPPERS" thread " My latest Military purchases", there are a lot of people here who would like to share those items with you

- not really sharing, but having a look on it

I get your points guys. For my part I you are going to have a historical collection , you ought to have flags from any belligerant nation. It's an ugly symbol but a historical relic.

 

i will put up a pic of the revolutionary war bayonet and civil war items up on that section then thanks! on the nazi stuff i dont want to offend anyone and i am NOT a skinhead or nazi i think what they did was absolutely the most horrible act in the history of the world! and i believe thier real punishment for these crimes didnt begin until they passed on if you know what i mean! whatever anyones religion is i believe they are going to get theirs and then some!

 

Hello jason 4473,

That's great news - and I am looking forward to seeing them. Regarding Nazi collectables; off course it is everyones personal business what someone likes to collect or display - it's just for me that I would never want to posess any item that displays a Nazi symbol. So a Wehrmacht shoulderbord or a StG 44 is fine with me.

Kruska

 

You won't like my collection then

 

If your collection does not include Wehrmacht Shoulderboards or a STG 44
probably not

Regards
Kruska

 

Ill remember that for next time

 

I need to get some Japanese things too, i have been collecting for about 2-3 years(I can't really remember) and i have German, Russian, American, British and Norwegian, but the only think i have gotten close to Japanese is that i have a Fujitsu Siemens Computer (And Siemens is German!).

 

yes jason, please do show your other militaria.....i for one would like to see it

 

Heh heh.

Kruska ;-)) you know that I sit all over the Sofa on this one ;-)) I've Deutscher stuff from 1848 to 1957. And speaking of Shoulderboards??? ;-)) and STG-44s (aka) MP-43s-you have me on those as the STG is my all-time most favorite weapon of the war. If you ever visit Switzerland-go to the old arsenal in Solothurn-and you will see several STG-44s there as well as some other great stuff ;-))

Forgot to mention I got in today-vol 1 of a 3 vol set published by Detlev Niemann-as well as both vls of Patzwall and Sherzers books on the DKiG/DKiG recipients. I've got about 30,000 names to keep me busy with researching for awhile ;-))

 

Hello Carl,

Yes, I bet you do

Solothurn is a great tip indeed - thanks.

There is a nice story to "my" STG44.

In the late 70's the chechoslovak/Bavarian borderline was off limits to German army personal. Only the US Army and the German - respectivly Bavarian Border Police was allowed near the border. My friend was with the Bavarian Borderpolice at that time and one day he stumbled after a heavy rain over something.

He startet digging with his hands and only less then maybe 2-4 inches under mud he pulled out an STG44.
Even though "amazingly" the wood was still quite well preserved, the weapon itsself looked like a hopeless bundle of rust.

It took him about 2-3 month to get this thing into a state off the art of 1945 - beautifull really almost as new, even though it is covered quite heavily (especially the barrel) with the remaining pock marks.

Unfortunatly according to German law in regards to military firearms he was forced to cut open the barrel sideways.

And then one day - my 22nd birthday he just gave it to me as a present.

Well what are friend for right?

Kruska
