My Selfish Thread - My Junior Collection

[whatthecrunchyo]

Here is my junior collection. I first started acquiring what I call "serious" items about 3 months ago. I have American stuff as well, but it's just not as cool as my German stuff.

First picture: Overall collection
Second Picture: 3 out of 5 K98 pouches, breadbag, canteen and cup

Next pictures:

1st: M40 tunic w/ 36 collar. Great shape.
2nd: G.41, excellent shape, all matching, missing magazine

Next pictures:

1st: Mostly self-explanatory. Rocks are: Reddish - from inside the Zeppelin field's main building; part of the marble floor, White/Orange - from Point du Hoc bunker, White - from site of Hitler's house...possibly off of his house? Pistols - 1940 '42' Luger, SACM M1935A waffenproofed, Sauer and Sohn Model 1913 with original holsters and magazine; WWI capture off of German officer
2nd: M35 Luft DD from Cassino, captured by Ranger (it is marked inside by him); the helmet is also named with the unit - the rest is self-explanatory

RC K98 - 1944 Mauser - excellent shape

I agree with Bob and would sure like to see more of the tunic! That is one Heck of a collection for only being at it three months!

That's a great collection so far. Wow. BTW what is the RZM mark on the guitar?

Hey fellas, I appreciate the comments!

The pistols are all active as are the rifles. What specifics would you like of the tunic? I can get whatever you'd like. I actually bought that from a member here back in December. It's quite a looker for my first...I'm really lucky!

The guitar is an "Antares" AKA knock-off Gibson, but it plays very nicely surprisingly. All of my friends and my dad have very expensive Les Pauls and they admit that my knock off plays nice for what it is!

Clear photos of front and rear with insides would be nice, close up of Eagle and collar tabs are a bonus! photos taken in natural light are also a bonus to bring out the colors...

Again I am most impressed with the collection and look forward to watching it grow here in this thread!

Again, thank you for the kind words! I'm glad someone appreciates this stuff because my wife certainly doesn't!

As requested, some pictures of the tunic. The backside looks funny because of the mannequin it is on:

Just added this camouflage helmet to my collection. Picked it up because I got it dirt CHEAP. Nothing special, but looks good. I believe it is French camouflage and you can see what I think are wire marks.

Unfortunately it sat upside down with some water in it for a long time, so the liner is gone. I don't think I will restore the inside.
