      Fabulous equipment, Jos! Wherever do you find this treasure?

      What a great collection, and nice to see such a varied display of U.S. militaria. Rattle, your arranging and photography/editing is pure art! Nicely done. --Kevin

      Hello Nesredep, If you know of period photos showing short-lead helmets, please post them if you can! Regards, Kevin

      Thank you, Jeremy! Your advice is appreciated. I was hoping for a lower value, for selfish purposes If I get the Wehrpass, I will certainly post more of it. Regards, Kevin

      I would like to buy this Wehrpass from a fellow who has offered it to me, but I don't really have a good idea of value. I can find no similar items with which to compare. Could somebody hazard a guess? One interesting aspect is that the soldier began the war as an infantryman, and ended up as a Luftwaffe observer. Regards, Kevin

      That's a really sweet observer light w/accessories, Fran?ois. I'd love to have one of those! --Kevin

      This face mask was used by air crew in open-air cockpits and perhaps other personnel such as air gunners. Also came in handy at Halloween. The flap opens for use of a mouthpiece oxygen system. Here I've shown the mask as it might have been worn. Regards, Kevin

      Nice one, Wessel! I got some other items belonging to the goblet winner, as well. Unfortunately, the Ehrenpokal award document was not one of them. --Kevin

      I love this one because you can see the drums in the carriers, hung from the tripod legs.

      Flak guy in Afrika using MG 15 for AA.

      Here's some MG 15 photos I have. Enjoy! --Kevin Magazine cover of air gunner using MG 15.

      Definitely looks like an MG 15 mounted for AA. I haven't seen a rear sight like that before, though. I'm especially fond of equipment and weapons photos like these.

      Nice combat setup, Paul. I also like the Luftwaffe HBT tunics, which are excellent for displaying combat/field gear. I'll have to get mine in order one day. --Kevin

      You are unlikely to find a gold clasp in that condition for less than what you stated, so if you really want one, this is a good chance!
    20. norwest78
      I'm having a hard time deciding if this is a bronze or gold example. Which is it? Photos can be tricky. From these photos, I like the clasp. 400 ? would be a good price for an example in gold. Probably at the high end for bronze. --Kevin

      Thanks, guys. I never actually thought I'd own one of these, but a stroke of luck/coincidence made it possible: This came up for sale out of an old collection just about the same time I received my end-of-year bonus from work. It was spent before my wife even knew how much it was.

      Nice to have original matching K98s! I have an import non-matched one that I use as a shooter, but no matched one. I don't know what these are going for anymore. You might check some of the gun sites such as gunbroker.com to find the market value. --Kevin

      Thanks, Jon and Nesredep! I could have spent my money and bought an RK or a chained SS dagger, but how much fun would those have been? My air gunner is the centerpiece of my collection, I really love it. Regards, Kevin

      Hi John, I regret to inform you that your eyesight is failing. Actually, it's the poor lighting and reflections in that particular area. I've taken another shot for you. Thanks for your watchful eye! --Kevin

      That's the last!
