Here is a rare photo for everyone! So there were only 3 STUG assault guns attached to the SV 288, so here is a pic of a STUG soldier sporting his assault gun wrap and whats that on his arm... could it be? Yes Yes it is, a SV 288 patch! OMG So this makes it a pretty damn rare photo to say the least, thanks again to Andy for this amazing SV 288 photo! Matt

Havn't seen any other ones of these. The DAK medal document and soldiers original medal. The document was torn in half and taped together, but it is getting reframed in acid free materials along with the medal when I get home. Not often seen for sure.

Not persay DAK, but the Italians were allies and fought along side the DAK soldiers. Here is a cap that was taken out of Afrika by a US vet, I think it was a 3rd Division vet bring back. Have the info written down at home. Nice bustina for sure that was there in the desert!

It is initialed on the inside of the cap with a J.L if my memory serves me right.

A nice driving document that is going to be getting framed with a set of drivers badges below it. Shame its not a real Rommel signiture, just a nice looking document.

Here is a little sweetie that I have to thank Tim O'keefe for. Anything that is signed by MN vets is something that I go after, hence what made this such a desireable 1st model pith! Its signed on the back by a MN vet and you can see Africa written on the rim of the helmet. Now whether or not this pith is from there is impossible to say but the soldiers who signed it were there and several other places along the way! Great helmet for sure. If anyone has any MN vet signed items please PM me, im always buying those! Send the MN history back to a fellow Minnesotan! Matt

Here is a nice little oddity. Its a private purchase AFRIKA cuff, the backing material isn't your usual "camel hair" but its a nice tunic removed example and I am very glad to have it amongst my other Afrika cuffs
