    Small SS collection

    Hi

    Just a very small collection of paperwork and items from a man I once knew. Sadly, he is dead now, but I managed to get a few of his personal items. His uniform was on display at Hemswell Antique Centre. I was promised it, but they did the dirty on me.
    He took the push dagger to Russia with him. How he got it, I don't know.

    Thought you might like a look at these though.

          This is an interesting story. If only he was still with us to explain more....

            Uploaded pics of serial numbers on pocket watch. There is also some etched dates/numbers, but I can't decipher them or take pics.

              Sorry but it is missing the star 'J' trade mark so I doubt it is an authentic Junghans
