I second that ! super collection Patrick...........the Hilfskreuzer & E-boat are proving so elusive for me !
Prost ! Steve.

Amazing KM collection Patrick!!!

You join the 57er KM "Kings Club" with Rudiger and Rudy!

@Steve, I am right there with you buddy.

Oh no! I´m definitely not in the KM "Kings Klub".

There is no piece from Deumer,no DK or KC ribbonbar or a nice KM-Group in my collection. KM is always so hard to find and expensive

Jeff,

The only member of that club is Rudiger. I too feel the same way as Patrick. We both have a few nice pieces but Rudiger has by far the nicest and rarest KM collection.

Thanks though.
Regards,
Rudy

Hi All,

Sounds good to me and what I meant was having collected a complete set of 57er KM badges and clasps in very early/early types. I absolutely agree Rudiger has the deepest and rarest 57er KM collection of any WAF member I am aware of. As we all know, completing a KM 57er set with early pieces is very tough and may not even be possible for a new collector of this type. With deep pockets it can be done with TR era pieces rather quickly. Again, it all comes back to how few early 57er items are "out there". Take all of the pieces from our combined collections and the numbers would be extremely small compared to the TR equivalents in collections and dealer sites. Completing any set of 57er KM, LW, or Heer badges/clasps with early pieces is admirable and certainly not as easy as just spending big money. Maybe in other threads we will see completed sets of 57er LW and Heer.

Best,

Jeff

Many thanks for the compliment about my collection, friends

But i have to say that without the help of you friends here i never would have been able to build up my collection that way. So it´s not only me ....... it´s a work we all together made. I only paid the money

So you see that in perfect community like us, where everyone is there for the other, really much is possible

Thanks friends
