And here is my latest acquisition
Kriegsmarine tropical tunic taken from a Schnellboot NCO in Sicily in 1945.
It's been 20 years since the last owner found it, and It's a real beauty.
I just love the way it shines between all of my almost mint tunics.
This one tells a nice story.
Schnellboots-kriegsabzeichen is added by me, as there are two loops for one badge (horizontal pin, though, but I couldn't resist adding the badge, pith helmet and a belt just to take these photos).

I hope you guys like it.
Enjoy

You're welcome to look and to ask, forum community is of great help, but we should all contribute with our knowledge.

Many times, even a stupid question starts the great thread which soon becomes a great reference, so i dare to say there are no stupid questions here.

Showing our collections, though, is a great way of helping other members to look for a nice items and to compare them with known originals before even putting them for review in a thread on WAF.

Celestial globe has come, finally. It got a special shelf in my Detolf vitrine, and it's going to be restored with the missing parts of the sky map.

And today I have officially started the process of acquiring this bunker for a historical gallery which will house part of my collection. I hope that authorities will recognize the efforts and help.

Pray for that idea as it's going to be a real struggle, I am sure ;-)

Your collection is already fantastic. Adding a bunker will really be the icing on the cake. Good luck, we'll all be pulling for you.

My troops have arrived yesterday.
Now I have to take them to warehouse to issue them the uniforms and equipment, of course. Some of them are veterans so I will allow them to wear their awards and medals...
