Any DAK items

[Mark Gibson]

Jim,
I just love that green tropenhelm, it looks fantastic. I'd love to find another green one eventually to go with all of the early green items which I have in the collection.

Take care

Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the kind words! It was a great chance that fell into my lap. I inquired about 1 and then another one was offered! So I bought both, just couldn't say no. The first one is my favorite as well Matt

Chris,

Thanks for the kind words! I like both of these rings as well. I got a great deal on them and couldn't pass them up. Matt

my grandpas military inheritance... nothing special, he was not a kc- oder dk-winner but for me it is priceless! i already posted it in another thread but it also fits here, so why not...

his awards, canteen, binocular, cuff titles (1x original, 1x copy bought during a veterans meeting), wehrpass and about 350 photos (afrika, italy, holiday in austria after he was wounded etc.)

grandpa passed away 3 years ago, but the remembrance of him will always be in my mind! he often told me about the war and especially his time in afrika. it was a very ambivalent time, he made good and very bad/sad experiences.


best regards


matthias


ps.: there are also some more documents of his time as a prisoner of war in italy and some docs concerning his injury (for exp., there is a paper from a doctor who said he does not need to wear the steelhelmet because of a concussion). the "afrika"-cufftitle-doc is a copy, the original one is in a briefcase to be protected against the sun.
