    Introduciton via my varied collection

    Hi, been a member for a while, some of you will recognize some of the pieces of my collection the fine members here have helped me build this, and as I get a chance I will do close ups of each display and individual items as requested. I have been collecting off and on for about 30 years, it was much cheaper when I began :-)

    Pardon my wallpaper, these are displayed in my "gun room / man cave" and I haven't spent much time redecorating the walls yet (although my wife is itching to).

    All firearms are fully functional and in the case of the MP40 a registered Curio and Relic full auto.

    Thanks much and appreciate all the wonderful information I have learned here.

    The center gap on top is where I plan to put the display box for the MP40 (being custom built)

          Thanks you very much, it has been a fun hobby in that you always have something new to learn

          The MP40 is probably one of my favorite smg's that I have ever shot. Have had the opportunity to own various ones throughout the years as a dealer and it is without fail the one that gets the most range time when people come over to shoot. I kinda feel bad about using it, but just can not resist.

          My last three pictures for the night, a very nice SMF with almost all the gold on the emblem.

              Sunday update

              Silver CCC

              SS buckle

              close up

              and finally, the social welfare. There has been many questions over the years about whether there is a difference between the social welfare and red cross beyond the hanger and attachment points or if it was simply a production difference. Despite being quite similar, there are actually many differences in the daggers, these two that I have kept from the various ones I have owned over the years are quite representative of each type. I plan to do a point by point difference on each in a future thread, there are around 14 overall differences in construction between the two types, most are quite small, but again, are common to one type or the other and I have yet to see a crossover. By my own experience in these, I will say them to be two entirely different distinct builds despite a casual identical look to them

                        Thanks for the compliments, I do appreciate that from such as the collectors here. I purchased my first Luftwaffe dagger when I was about 14 years old going to gunshows with my father, turned into a hobby that brought both of us closer together, something we both shared an interest in up till his passing. So if for no other reason than that I will always have a love for this

                        My few for today

                        Russian hord EK1

                        a excellent condition teardrop hanger for the 36 SS chained dagger (and by the way, I really do need a nice 36 to keep this guy from being so lonely)
