There were no regulations or any laws against collecting of Third Reich items in Soviet Union. They were circulating with no problems among collectors since 60-th as far as I know. I have never heard that somebody suffered for keeping German item. For sure public exibition of such stuff was impossible for individual, museums are exceptional case. Some famous peoples in SU collected this stuff - for example Zhuk, author of very famous book dedicated to firearms.

Originally posted by TexasuberallesMany aspects of this discussion are analogous to one that fits many areas of ‘collecting’ items which are desirable -- and most importantly -- no longer available through the original manufacturer or supplier.
It’s the same thing for Model A Fords or 55-57 Chevy’s. The difference between using NOS (new old stock) parts and ‘aftermarket’ ones. This is true even if aftermarket pieces were available side-by-side at the time NOS items were.
The finest restorations will use NOS; without exception. If you repaired your ’57 with a genuine Delco-Remy generator instead of one from another manufacturer it was always seen as "better" by the well-informed and more serious enthusiast of the hobby.
Even today if you want to keep your Mercedes in first class condition you use only Mercedes parts regardless that ‘knock-offs’ are available………

Fantastic photos of that skull in wear. If that doesn't prove its originality, I don't know what does!
Moreover founds from battle sites confirm that such sculls existed. I will try to obtain a photo one scull from collection in Moscow, if owner agree to share it with us.

Used to have "DOLCH" and later "ZYKLON"; limited to only 6 letters/numbers in Texas.
Some dude in West Texas has had "PANZER" for over twenty years.
I keep checking every couple of years hoping he'll let his renewal lapse so I can snag it......

I used to have 'N5DAP'.........but that's a long story. I've had a phobia about telescopic lenses ever since.
I call it 'The Once and Future Number Plate'

Sorry, I got it for nothing and traded it almost for nothing and I don`t have a photo of the eagle.
But I still have an Estonian-made tin lion which was used on the side of the caps.
