Overview of items in picture 3, I bought the HJ knife off of some construction worker that found it in an old house, the blade is completley rusted but for the price i got it for im not going to compain. The SS officers tab I bought off the estand from a fellow member, the ccc in silver and bronze were also bought from the estand. The Horst and Adolf Cuff were bought along with the IAB in bronze and the "wolfs Head" SS tab from Bob Hritz at a chicago show a year or two ago. The Reinhard cuff came from worldwartwo acutions, I cant rember where the Silver IAB and iron cross second class came from. I picked up the SS armband at an auction about 2 months ago, there were some other German items there but this was the only one i was intersted in. The token collar tab came from an estate buy of a tin full of medals and insignia, i almost pissed my pants when i pulled this out The M-40 SS Double Decal came out of an antique gun store in arizona, I found it in the back with about 5 years of dust and dirt on it. Under the helm I found a tray of medals the Cloth Para bage was one of the only ones i kept, if i told ya the price i paid for it all you would not belive me

EXCELLENT Collection!!!!
Is that luger nickel plated?

[Justin]

If i rember right it is, I think it is a lugar that was issued to artillery personnel, I havent gotten it out and looked at it for a while

[Tyler Ramsey]

I think your mistaken , the Average Luger has a 4in barrel (like the one in the photo), The Navy has a 6in barrel and the Artillery has a 12in (WOW ) Barrel.
Still, a very nice piece for a VERY nice collection!!!
