Germany is the best Place! I obtained them from many different sources in Germany...friends, flea markets, Military shows and Ebay...also shows in Belgium (Ciney, Arlon, LaGleize). Cheers! - Bill

Edward,

You haven't seen all what I have....I still have plenty to post. I enjoy collecting the standard Infantry studio just as much as some of the special protraits. I too started a long time ago at the flea markets in Germany when it cost me 50 pfennigs to a mark for portraits. Sadly those days are over.
I was watching and doing a little bidding for some pics in that LW SP Group. I managed to pick up a few photos. I don't get caught up in the bidding fever like many others do. I set my price that I'm willing to pay .... you win some you lose some. 500 Euros was way too much for 5 studio shots but that is Ebay. I keep plugging on making my deals and happy to do it.

Here are a few more portraits from a small military show at Flonheim, Germany #103

Bill, you have an excellent collection. Just out of curiosity when will you have enough studio portraits of the same basic types such as Heer enlisted soldiers wearing plain waffenrocks? Not that these cannot be interesting too, but I reached a saturation point years ago and said enough was enough of those. I then started collecting the harder to get studio shots. Now days I just sit back and watch the bid battle drama on German eBay between collectors for studio portraits. Just yesterday a large set of photos which looked to have come from an album to a man in a NSKK/Sp outfit supporting the Lw in Italy sold big. At least one collector Sitzkreig spent close to Eur 500 for just 5 nice studio shots. Glad I bought similar content in Germany years ago for about 1 DM, or even 50 Phenning a photo back then!
