My addiction, one year later...

[landsknechte]

Just realized that I've been lurking about this forum for just about a year now, and figured that it was about time to put together a post for this particular sub-forum.

When I started, the only German things that I had were a lone 1914 EKI that I found mislabeled on eBay, and a ribbon bar that I bought on a lark from a dealer that I had been buying some French militaria from previously.

Anyhow, so as not to blow up the forums with one massive post, I'll break this up a bit...

To begin with, the shiny metal things:

Random (mostly) paper things - part 1

There are a couple of tidbits that don't quite fit in with the stated theme, but I don't have enough WWI French calendars (for example) to justify a binder for those alone.

Nice collection so far. Do you think we can get some detailed photos of the Anti-Partisan Badge in Gold?

...and apart from a handful of coins which I couldn't photograph well enough to bother with posting ("ooooh... glowing circles!"), that's pretty well it.

Now, on to year two.

A refreshing variety. Nice.

Very nice!

Nice! I think for year two you need to buy twice as much.

Okay, this is the last time I'm going to say this: It's not an addiction. It's a habit.

Thankfully they don't have a twelve step program that covers this...

Very eclectic! I like it all.
