"Help with SS cloth I-II-III-IV-V-VI-VII-VIII-IX-X XI

[Marc verstraete]

Hello All,
I wish to thank all of you who have helped me so far with the identification of the items I posted yesterday in the threats "Help with SS cloth I-II-III-IV-V-VI-VII-VIII-IX-X XI. Please continue as many questions are still open.
I also wish to send a collective answer to the more than 300 e-mails and private messages I received.
PLEASE, answer my questions on the forum FIRST. Let me know ON THE FORUM if the item is good or not. Do not offer me to buy a item I don't even know is good!
Responding to the question if the item is good or not and identifying the object ON THE FORUM will help ALL the members who are also here to LEARN .This will benefit everyone.
These items are NOT for sale at the present time . If they are, they will be traded for buckles or posted on the forum's selling section..
Thanks again,
Marc

PS. My Wife took this picture this morning of me with the “motherload“”

Marc,
be very happy with your SS cloth items. They are more then outstanding !
It was nice to meet you at the GDM party this year.

Yes, its the MET but you knew that already.
The smile?...... Well, two things. First, knowing the stuff (Or most of it until now) in my hands is good . Second, being admitted as member into the Explorers club and going to the annual dinner at the Waldorf together with "Buzz" Aldrin (Astronaut) Sir Hilary ( Everest), Picard, (Deep sea, high altitude), Ballard ( Titanic) and many others.......
Yes, yes, I’m a official explorer now, a “American Hero” as the president of the club said... on the same list as the pioneers from the South pole, north pole, moon, deep sea, ext.....

Back to the subject.......I renew what I said a few days ago. At this point I received over 500 mails on the subject trough my personal email address or the forum private messages (as well as from the GD forum)
I do my best to respond to most of you, but It is impossible to answer all of you. What took each individual 3 minutes to write would take me two days to answer and I really have other things to do . People who really helped me out will receive answer, just give me time.
I thank everyone who really helped me out, for the ones who are solely interested in buying the stuff,I say; It is not because it is posted that it is for sale or at least NOT yet, and probably only in trade. I will post on the subject when I am ready, meanwhile, there are still many of my questions on some objects who received no answers.
