Thank you Willi and John for your words concerning this big event (and specially for the photo of both of you as I met only met Willi in Crete). Well, I did few shows in the States, mainly on the eastern coast. I remember one in the New Hampshire in September. It was quite new for me as the visitors and the sellers were entering in the place at the same time and that the show closed at noon (or something like that). At this time I was searching for US stuff and brought few german papers in hope of making some bucks. I was sad to see that few people was interested in my documents. It did not change too much....

Hello Jean-Yves,

I wish Fj documents were more easy to locate here in the US. I'm sure that Willi and Chris would agree. I believe that Chris is working on a book now that will include many types of Fj documents, and hopefully Chris will discuss these in detail. As for New Hampshire, sadly many small shows are like that.

Regards,
John

Jos! You are up late! Better keep the lady happy

Here is a mint splinter that Brian M. had for sale. It is almost identical to one illustrated in Beaver's SS camo book. That particular smock is now in a museum in Sicily.

There were also several fine tan/water jump smocks for sale. The hard edged tan/water that Jason B. had sold today I believe.

Hi John,

Great shots of the show, thanks!

Do you have any idea how much this smock went for, and what the tan/waters you saw were going for?

Thanks again for the great pics!

Thanks Ed,

Honestly, I didn't really focus on the prices of smocks since I wasn't looking to add any.

Did pick these up, and though not Fj, they are scarce.

I think high minded German strippers wore them between their legs.....

This pair is from strippers with a higher status, that liked big "guns"......and came from a friend. They were brought back from Africa.

Great strapstrings !
So there were higher ranking strippers then..hmmm..Unteroffizier.., I better wait for the Oberstleutnant..

What I meant to say was that you said..."though not FJ"...for the yellow piped straps... If they're only flight,send them up...

Sorry Jos,

What I meant to say was that were not specifically for Fj,...., as say, knee pads, etc..

Best,
John
