What's your newest militaria III

John, Kai great additions to your collections

good to see you back Carl !

 

Nice find my friend ;-))

 

Thanks E, good to be back on the other half of what im used to being at ;-)) Trying to catch up here before doing much more on Anges sits. I was here till almost 5Am this morning and had to leave thanks to nodding off sitting at the computer.

 

Well, am trying for more pix from ebay this eve and already got one in the last few minutes. Ill be trying for more this evening to see how many I can get for no more than $20 or so available bucks.

 

Ok, I won four pix this evening. Nothing ground shaking but all not bad either,

1) A Medal Ceremony in Russia-all the recipients are Sergeants.
2) Another Award ceremony pic-the better of the two from that group. I went for this one only because you get a decent view of the War Flag that is on the table.
3) An MG-team is set up covering a road somewhere. They are using an MG-08 I THINK??????
4) A German Soldier clowning around wearing a Russian Helmet.

 

I will post the pics for you this weekend Carl (if that's your wish) .

I got quite a few things. 1st: I bought a "German" WWI shell "blind" which means with earth and clay still covering it ,as it was found. It was a nice surprise to find a M-17 Austian Hungarian shell with 90 of chococlate Khaki paint still on it. I love it. the iron liner band is in it , same for the chins strap loops. It's not WW2 but I'm sure some of you would love to see in the Imperial militaira thread. Also I will post pics of my new D.R.K cap , but later as I need to go back to work first.

 

Thank you Skipper, that'd be awfully nice of ya ;-)) These will also probably be the last I go for for awhile--unless I see a few I can't live without ;-))

 

More Finnish WW2 fotos...

 

Great pics my friend, I also like these because some are a fine study in Finn uniforms.

 

Thanx Carl! Hopefully I find some hint of their background in the back of the pics and perhaps get their names as well..

 

great pics Kai, little known background of info on this chap serving in the Black Sea coast on Coastal command duty, wearing the tropical KM uni on the card.

 

Hi Kai, will be greatly looking forward to it. Also, I just found a few tidbits of Germans in Finland--only dealing with the recipients of a couple high awards.

 

Nice D.C. I was going to bid on several (as a group) that Rick had but, I forgot about it and was too late. Anyway, had i remembered? those would be yours as I know how you like collecting them. Sad thing is, they went for less than 5 bucks. I think there were 10 in the group?

 

Some nice Finnish Waffen SS-volunteer postcards and letters mostly to Finland...

 

fotos slowly filtering in from Europe. S-Boot, an S-38b type please note the square ventilator on the left and the single MG 15 for self protection. again from the 8th S-Flottille

 

thanks Kai for the salute'

Kommandeur on the left side and his Steuermann on the right of the member with life preserver. 7-8 more fotos enroute .........

 

Nice Pic E. I saw something sboot related in Ricks latest auctions and was going to bid, but had several appointments to go to here in Atown and forgot.

 

let me know where they are Carl for a quick look see. more interesting things from Germany coming soon. am cleaning out my office or should say putting things away on shelves instead of stacks of paperwork on the floor

 

Hi E, they are already gone as of two days ago. I was going to bid on them to send to you but I completely forgot because of the appointments. I found another seller with some Sboot stuff but have not heard back from them yet. This lady is in Germany and has loads of Waffen SS pics, Pics of Tanks including Tigers, and lots of KM stuff. I was asking if she would accept other method of payment since I cant geta frigging paypal account set up. I have not heard anything from her? If not? I found one or two more sellers with interesting things. Soon as I get the chance>? ill check back there later this eve and will let you know who they are. One guy ends his auctions on Wednesdays and I think he had a lot of KM stuff listed? Soon as I find out, ill PM you here or at histomil?

 

Nice private photo of Walter Oesau...
