Hello, many of you know me from other militaria forums.

I decided to show you part of my US collection here.

I start with a shot of my living room. It's a little outdated.

This is the part of the collection, my wife allows me to display out in the open.

Enjoy

Stephan

Thanks for all you comments guys.

Many thanks for the replies.

I had to choose between a few crosses, but instantly choose this one.

I just liked the way it looked.

Hello,

i usually do not collect german militaria, but ran over this EK 1.

What can you tell me about this particular cross ?

Any help would be great.

Stephan

Made by Carl Eickhorn, Solingen.

What would be the value if this were complete with scabbard, handle and in good condition, just for info ?

Thanks,

Stephan

" In herzlicher Freundschaft Ernst R?hm " inscription on the other side.

The blade "Meine Ehre hei?t Treue"

Hello,

what is this ?

This blade is from a friend who found it last week in the attic of his father in law. The father in law says it came from his father but has no idea to it.

I'm not into German daggers myself but it should be a SS dagger since it has

"Meine Ehre hei?t Treue" inscribed on one side of the blade. The thing i don't understand is the other side.

It says "In Herzlicher Freundschaft, Ernst Rohm". This is for SA daggers.

So what is it ?

Here is the blade. It's not in the best shape.

The naming inside the beret

Luck was with me again, today.This week is great.

I found me this nice piece of cold war history at the local flea market.

It is a unofficial worn black beret of the 2nd Armored Cavalry during the 70's in Germany. It is named on the inside to 1st Sgt. Apsey, Howitzer company, 3rd Squadron, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment.

The Black beret was worn on two tracks by the Army in the late 60's and 70's.While some Ranger units were wearing it (provisionally) in Vietnam, meanwhile, the two famous Border guard Cavalry Regiments 11th ACR and 2nd ACR in Germany were wearing it as squadron wide headgear! These proud, and very strong units were responsible for patrolling the iron curtain since the end of WW2 till 1989.

Regards,

Stephan

I can see them all.

Ok it's not for slow connections.
