Cheap but still neat items in your collection

Great idea Jody!

Here is my small contribution: I would like you all to meet my very special bird "Rocky Larocque"!!! First piece I ever got when I started collecting in 1970 (I was 18!) and it was given to me (so it qualifies as "under $30.00") by a vet at work after whom I named it.

Its a cupal specimen of the silver officer summer uniform eagle but all of the new silver finish and most of the silver plate is gone so the copper shows through on the high points. The mounting system had also gone "byby" by the time I got it. But the detail and the "been there" look is great and its still one of my favorite pieces after all these years even if I did make a point of acquiring better specimens of the same exact eagle in gold and silver later on.

Good night!

Thanks man, I just dig these stupid blitzs for some reason. They make a hell of a display with all the waffenfarbes together. I will try to snap a couple pics of the current collection of them. Matt

Nothing stupid about it at all!!! In fact, with all the Waffenfarbes aligned like you have them, it's downright impressive!

I received this Catholic Rosary booklet from a fellow WAF member for the price of postage. I display it with my headgear...not sure why, but I like it very much.
