Hunyadi, A great Find and you certainly never know what you'll find at Flea Markets. Regards, Joel

Incrediblely well preserved pieces! What a find! I'm green with envy. Regards, Joel

I'd have to agree. A beautifully detailed and original badge. Very Nice! Regards, Joel

Excellent Work! Very Nice! Joel

What gets me is how barbaric things must have gotten in those close quartered Trenches! Joel

Chris, One would hope so..... Or at least in this case... Regards, Joel

Rick, Thank you my friend! Sorry I missed Jeff and yourself today. It was a busy day with a long line out the door. None the less as you fought through the pickers there were a few goodies to be had. The belt and buckle was all bundled up with a rubber band at at first glance I was thinking it may have been a German Colonial belt till I noticed the other end of the belt and all of the other buttons fastened to it. I'm psyched to own a true piece of history that truly has the "been there" look.

Gents, Just returned from the Lowell Militaria collector's show today with this little piece of History. It is what I believe a Canadian or British Mills belt with an Imperial German Buckle and various German buttons and a lone French Button affixed to it. An interesting find that I'm quite please with. There appears to have been many more buttons that adorned this belt however, those that remain tell the story completely. Enjoy! Regards, Joel

Awesome "Moments in Time!" Very Nice Pictures! The Old Sherman certainly was a tank that had seen action on many fronts and with many variations. Regards, Joel

Very Nice Clamshell Backing! Regards, Joel

Bob, Welcome Back! Good to hear your back on track! Regards, Joel

What an interesting and surely a rare varient if one was to have the actual Cross! Regards, Joel

Brian, Thank you for your kind words. I'm definately intrigued and want to collect more edged weapons from this period thats for sure. Got real lucky on finding one in this condition.

Gentlemen, Happy to report I just conducted a deal with a friend of mine in which I'm the new proud owner of this Imperial German Fighting Knife. It's the only one I've seen in mint/unissued condition. This is my first Imperial edged weapon and not the last thats for sure. It's probably my last bigger purchase till my Wife and I get settled in our first home home which we just bought. Oh yes, I'll have my "War Room" after all. LOL! Regards, Joel

Aren't collecting these a fantastic mystery?

Jim, You certainly have an extensive and well displayed collection. I raise my hat in admiration! Regards, Joel

Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery Bob! Get Well Soon! Regards, Joel

I've seen a few for sale on Der Rittmeister and have always thought that they display magnificently. A very nice collection you have there Razputin. Regards, Joel

Hardy, I thank you for the correction. Regards, Joel

RedMaestro, The first Helmet is a M34 "Squaredipped" which I believe, was issued to the units policing the Rural Waterways. Given the tone of the Polizei shield. The second is a felt Heer Pith Helmet which was issued for the units fighting on the Greece/Italian front. If it was Canvas, it would be for the DAK. Regards, Joel

Gentlemen, Nice Katanas! I miss my Imperial Japanese Wakizashi! Though, I still have My 1928 Nambu Type 14, Arisaka T-38 Carbine with T-30 Bayonet, and Rayed Flag. I've grown to admire Imperial Japanese Miltaria more and more lately. Regards, Joel
