How I became a KC collector!!!!

[Kevin V.]

Here is a picture of me and the only Flemisch KC tr******228;ger Remy Schrijnen during a reunion in 1994 in K******246;ln-Wahn before attending the Dortmund show!!!
I was 14 years old when that picture was taken but at that time I collected German camouflage, helmets and equipment!!! All in very good to mint condition!!
Werner Palinckx took care of me at that time and helped me with my purchases!!!

And after 10 years of camo collecting I started to collect KC's!!!!!!! And now I am addicted to them!!!

Interesting,
But at 26 years old can you explain to me how you can afford to "collect" KC's?

Simple, I found a good paying job and a girlfriend that says nothing when I spend another 10000$ on a cross, as long as she can wear Burberry and carry a Louis Vuitton handbag!!!!!!!!

[Gunner II]

What job is that and can I get it?

[ekhunter]

Some people are born with money too. That way they can spend and spend! It would be nice!

Thanks Kevin for sharing with us that moment with Flemisch KC träger Remy Schrijnen. We often forget i think that there are real people behind the medals and badges we collect.

Cheers.

There is a competition going on: Pieter en Kevin will continue to buy KC's untill all available examples are in Belgium!

Remember that none of the KC's I have are at home!!! They are all in a safedeposit box at the bank!!! Sadly but necessary!!!

Sincerely

[Gunner II]

That is indeed very sad. If I would ever own one, I would wan't to see it every day and kiss it goodnight

[upbeek]

with your money kevin
could you not have a safe fitted at your home ,one that cannot be penatrated by mans hand?
i have one ,so i can look at my medals every day and then lock them away all safe and sound,+there are a booby trap too ,so would cause alot of damage to a thief 2000volts
