    Skylinedrive. Yes, but I can go play with it here. My BNZ-43 MP-40 ,MAB-38A,M1-A are worth more now than when I got them 30+ years ago. Rich A. in Pa.

    I will sky, I have been terribly busy these days and could find time to take pictures. I now even have a new mannequin (a Senegalese tirrailleur with an M-1939 uniform) . I came accross the black mannequin by accident and the soldier looks fabulous with his machette.

    more great items posted fellas !

    a nice small Stug grouping coming. Kai should note the Hugo Primozic foto singed which I beleive he has one in his large collection. Shoulder board - Hauptmann and a foto of one of the famous Stug Brigade 202 crewmen fighting in the Kurland Kessel and then finally if anyone could ever find a copy of: Stug Doctor Walter Müllers's 1944 Berlin, Sturmgeschütze vor ! priced incredibly high at over 200.00 Euro just for the little book alone. Let's just say the whole small group was a total steal through a Dutch Stug collector and friend......

    oh, I love those shoulder tabs!

    At last and as promised, my Senegalese Tirailleur. He still needs slight improving (the shoulder tabs should be yellow and his collar ribbon too . ) His machette is an original one and so is the Colonial Adrian helmet. The Medal is the Moroccan Bey Merit one (this one was also laterawared to U.S troops at Casablanca in 1942) . The red chechia is also an original one. The great coat is a a M-39 model .

    It is my way to pay a tribute to the colonials who fought for France. The black mannequin was hard to get , Ieventually found it by accident after many years .

    I also picked this little fellow up at the same flea marke. The name must ring a bell for those of you who saw "is Paris Burning?". I don't know if it's war time or pre or post war, but it comes from the Parisian Palace where Von Choltwitz had his HQ.

    . Interesting asset Kai . Did yo usearch for the names at the Kriegsversorg site? A salute is more appropriate for death soldiers, I felt uncomfortable clicking "like" for this one
