ugh...

its nothin special, in fact... if i would have looked over some of the other outstanding collections already posted in the collections forum, Then I probably would not have just embarrassed myself!

**gregM** · 06-21-2009, 11:01 AM

Very nice, nothing embarassing about it

**tom wy** · 06-21-2009, 11:01 AM

you just embarresed me!

**Glenn Barbaritz** · 06-21-2009, 11:02 AM

you have some nice items in there. I take it these are things you just aquire from wherever right? not specific purchases. the cuff title I assume is worth a pretty penny. Glenn

**Rob E.** · 06-21-2009, 11:16 AM

I currently like to arrange my items in themes, SS section, Heer Pioneer, et cetera perhaps you might like to do so?

Nice goodies.

**John Macrini** · 06-21-2009, 11:22 AM

thanks

Thanks guys....

Everything except for the RLB sign and the ceramic crest deal was "found" or came out of the woodworks....lots of Garage sale's, yard sale's, estate sale's, flea markets, antique malls..... yadda yadda

Oh yeah and the SS sport shirt patch, I bought that from a dealer also...

And as to the cuff title apparently its a fake,Thats what I was told anyway,(it sure as hell taste's real to me

) but thats the only thing of questionable authenticity in the case...

Rob

Rob,
That is the orginizational method that I was originally gunning for, but I Only have the one display case

but after taking out a piece at a time and talking about it or letting someone look at it, then placing it where it fits, well thats where it ends up.

However.... my ultimate goal is to do exactly what you speak of.... Hopefully i will acquire much much more third reich militaria in the future to come, and display it grouped together according to branch of service or orginization.

I will need a few more display cases though!

**John Macrini** · 06-21-2009, 11:35 AM

I also have a few other large items, a few helmets, a larger sized pennant, some munitions, a sword..... but they wont fit

In retrospect, I guess I havent done bad for the short while (almost 2 years) that I have switched over exclusively to TR.

Before I got "the TR bug" it was any Militaria from any period, and military rifles. I was lucky in the aspect that my father has always been a big fan of militaria (big time military rifle collector) so I had a push in the right direction from day 1!
