Great contributions guys

Mark-your water can is in great condition. I have seen a few but they had rust issues and I would like to get one that is in such good shape.

Ray-always nice seeing pictures of your collection. I have to say the Pz Gren officer is one of my favourites as well.


Paolo-you already know what I think of your Kalender. It's nice to see a been there filled out one and you can send it my way anytime

Now this is what I call a COLLECTION . i WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE REST. j

Well thank all you guy's for the motivational comments and sharing your nice items as well.

- Greg B, that engraved mess kit is a gem. I had a few kits before. They never much appealed to me so they went down the road. This one is a keeper though for sure and I would be charmed having a unique personalized work of art like that in my collection.

-Jacquesf, Will eventually get my collection thread spun up shortly and build it up as I can rotate my items out of storage.

While at it, one of my latest DAK additions, another Medal with packet accompanied with ephemera to the recipient.

Can see the difference in my other award (reverse)

- Type 3 packet on left
- Type 2 packet on right.

Will be incorporating the new medal to my assembly below. ( more than several items of this group have been published in Antonio Scapini's book : "Italo-German Medal for the Afrikan Campaign.")

Thanks for looking and sharing all your great items, input, and nice comments once again boys.

Very nice medals Ray

Here are a few items I picked up last year from members on the forum. Some have been shown before and I am glad that they joined my collection.

Marvelous boards and hat, even w/o the insignia. I believe I might have seen that over coat on the web before, looks familiar,,, nice!

Thanks to you all for brightening up a very wet cold Easter weekend down here in the deep south of NZ..

Ray your Afrika medal collection with papers is superb !.. Barry your faded cap and the insignia cut in one piece from a cap is stunning.. I have included a pic of my set, unfortunately not joined but both from the same cap ..

Thanks to all others for sharing, keep it up

Hi Mark,

Thanks for sharing your Pz man with us, love that 1st pattern tunic and the MP38/40 mag pouch set up .. I am pleased the Y straps have gone to such a good home..

Thanks for the compliment on the field cap insignia, they came from the US and I was very pleased to secure them ..

Have a good Easter break over there in the sun
Paul

Barry,
I just love the cut off insignia from the panzer field cap, it looks familiar.
As for the PzGren straps, one of the few sets that I have actually parted with over the years. It got to a point where I had far too many so passed a couple of sets on. I'm at that point again as I keep finding sets.
