Very nice. I just picked up my first one a couple weeks ago. I'm doing a display of a German vet I have met. Since his still with us I will only use his fist name. Willi was in the Luftwaffe, FLAK. In a riker mount I have his signed photo, and the proper awards. EKI,EK2, Russian front medal, KVK, Black wound badge. All I need now is a Krim shield. Willi has some awsome storries to tell. He also shot down 2 Sturmoviks. He is quite the gentleman. byf

Beauty of a post. Great job. byf

Very nice, they are in great shape. Wish I still had mine. byf

Outstanding work. I loved models when I was a kid. I could never do that well. byf

I really love the Tiger but the T34 really dominated the field. byf

A very comprehensive post Frank. Thanks, I love looking at them. byf

Nice Helm Jon. I tried 3 pic posts today but none of them went. I am such a Dino. byf

Incredible. Great stuff. Thanks for showing them. byf

Outstanding pics. Great tunics. Why did I get rid of my Kaleu? To buy more Heer stuff? Too many things, not enough money. byf

Sweet. They sure are cool. byf

Thanks for the info ALp. Yes I know of the situation in the later years of the KM.If Doenitz had gotten what he wanted when he wanted they would have won. I guess it's good for us that Dolf couldn't see the big picture. byf

That is one sweet looking sub badge. Mine is late war zinc, L/57, with all the gold wash gone. That is a real keeper. byf

There does not seem to be much Imperial stuff around compared to Nazi stuff. But prices are going up. I have a M1918 Helm with liner, no chin strap. I paid $50 for it some years ago. Now I see them going for $400-$500. I was shocked to find this out. I have discussed it with some helmet experts and that is what they say. That stuff is coming up on 100 years old. Prices should be up. byf

The actions are so smooth on those units. Empire builders. byf

Very nice, but don't get too close. Argh-sorry. byf

Great job Jon. I used to have all those too. I got rid of most of them to buy Mausers and K43s. Oh well. byf

Nice job Jon boy, keep up the good work. byf

Quite a bunch of winners. Do you have any crosses? byf

Incedible men. Keep up the good work. byf

What a bunch of outstanding items. I would think these would be very hard to find. Great job. byf

I have never had many KM items and currently have but one U-Boot badge. What would a sailor needed to have done to be awarded one of these? Thanks. byf

Really nice. In great shape too. byf

Yes it was the Krummlauf. It had holes drilled in it to let gas escape. It hooked on to an MP44 with a mirror site and angled the rounds at 30-40 degrees. Maybe 90 in a model or Panzer defence. They suposedly lasted for a few hundred rounds before they burned out. byf

Well, since you asked I would have to say the Springfield 03A4. A real tack driver. byf

What a beautiful rifle. They shoot real well too. I bought one years ago for $450. Now they go for a minimum of $1000 or more. Why did I ever get rid of it? byf
