MY WWII German medal and badge collection

[Jody]

Hello folks,
I would like to show you what is left of my 3rd Reich collection. I have been collecting since 1972 and I don't think the collection is too bad considering I am a school teacher (with not a lot of extra money for such things). most of the stuff was obtained from veterans, yard sales, pawn shops, rummage sales, etc. As a kid I spent most of my time looking for this stuff.

Regards,
Jody

First up is my EK grouping the case for the RK is a reproduction. BTW, the RK is a 4 935 and I bought it off of a US veteran in the late 70's for the price of a standard 1939 2nd class EK. The DK is a later version 20.

Here is a thread which discusses how I obtained the RK des KvK and the DK in silver:

Hello Jody,

Each time again im totally blown away by those framed sets of yours. I didn't know of the framed flak badge and it looks just as good as the motherscross and ek spange i already knew. If you have any more framed awards please post them

Gaston

Ive been collecting for 6 months Jody, and as a fellow teacher i can totally concur with that statement

That said if i can end up with a collection a third as impressive as this after 30 years i shall be well chuffed.
