New to Luftwaffe...my collection

[Lassi]

Hi Guys
The first month in the year 2011 I decided to change into something else.....for years I had been hunting Waffen SS but I most admit I got real tired of it. The insane prices, the endless discussions and frankly I got so tired of it and decided to sell and trade it and start over.

I live near Aalborg airport former known as Fliegerhorst Aalborg, one if the largest German airports during the war stretching over more than 30 square kilometers. So I decided to go from there and see what I could find that would fit the location

Here is my collection so far, not much but a start.....I need a show room but I hope I will get one within this year so the pictures has been taken both in and outside so they are not consistent in quality, for that I apologies

Thank you and all the best
Lars

Thank you for your comments guys



Here is a couple of nice K98 pouches, nice early brown ones not Luftwaffe in particular but I thought they would look nice on a uniform display at some time!

Cheers
