Thank you all for the positive comments!
I am very satisfied with my display, so I am glad you like it.
I was searching for quite some time to get a k98 dress bayonet in good shape.
This one I came across on ebay, the seller was a lawyer handeling the estate of an American war veteran. He participated in Germany 1945 and topk this bayonet as a souvenir. After about a dozen email's I finally got the seller to ship it to a postbox adress I have in the us, and another four emails with the carrier, explaining that this is a collectors item and not a weapon. It finally arrived in norway, made it's way trough the customs . Now it's a much appreciated item in my collection.
Robert Klaas "kissing crane" dressbayonet in NM condition.
The blade on this one is prestine, grips are untouched and shows minimal wear, frog has a small tear, and the scabbard is dent free, but has some spots of cortosion. In all, a extremely nice bayonet in good shape, with some aging that actually just makes it a more appreciated item that has a story.

Finally!
I have been dreaming about getting an authentic ww2 office chair.
Now I got it. By a lucky chance I came a cross a LW chair on the norwegian"craigslist". Needless to say I bought it in a blink.
It fits perfectly in my office display, don't you think?

I have been sesrching for quite some time, for a original German typewriter. After numerous hours I found a few, but the sellers didn't answer me.
So I asked my father if maybe he thought my war veteran gransfather had a typewriter I could use for now.
He replied that there was one he used as a child, so we began looking for it.
Imagine how surprised I got when this typewriter turned out to be a allmost flawless
German Olympia (1936) that came from a german office where I live!!
Fantastic!
This typewriter does not have the SS rune key, but with the local provians I don't care about that at all!!!
I altso want to show you my most recent buy, from a member of this forum. A red cross needle, bot the most popular or unique item, but I enjoy having this in my collection.

Very happy about my recent buy!
A Luftwaffe Honor Plaque for Norway (Fur Besondere Leistung Luftgau Norwegen).
Black finish cast iron wall plaque with a blued steel mounting clip, 15x11 cm, stamped in serial number "3451" (circa 1942?). Produced by the firm "Kugusis Oslo". Since only 8000 were awarded it's considered hard to find.
HISTORY:
In March 1939 the Luftwaffe operational flying units were divided into four separate Luftflotten (Air Fleets) which in turn were sub-divided into assorted Luftgau (Air Districts). Each Luftgau was responsible for a pre-determined area of air space. With the rapid advances and occupations of 1939-1940 some of the Luftflotten were over extended so the Luftwaffe created two additional Luftflotten with one being responsible for a territory covering parts of northern Russia, Finland and Norway. Each of the Luftgau were command by a General. Four of the Luftgau created their own semi-official, non-portable award plaques to award personnel for special achievements. The serial numbered plaques came with an award certificate. The plaques were sanctioned by the Luftgau general and were always made by a local company. This plaque was awarded by Generalleutnant Eduard Ritter von Schleich. The only known maker was Kugusis. More than 8,100 Luftgau Norway plaques were awarded by the end of July 1944.Comment
