Heer New Member Introduction

[Dr. Jones]

Hello fellow members,

Just wanted to give a quick intro about myself. My name is Dan (Doctor Jones). I have been collecting militaria since I was in grade school. I served 4 years in the US Marine Corps as an Intel Specialist. I am now 33 years old, and the military collecting has only become worse...LOL! in 1993 I began to focus my efforts on Waffen-SS, specificly the 13th Handschar Division. I look forward to healthy, earnest discussions, and the opprotunity to learn from my fellow brothers in arms.

A very warm welcome, Doc.

Just watch out for those Imperial guys, just a bunch of reprobates.

Hi Dan,

I am glad to see another Devil Dog here! Anyway, I look forward to seeing your knowledge and perhaps some of your collection here.

Kind regards

Welcome Dr. Jones (I always think of Aqua when i hear that)!

Which was your Marine unit?

Pity you missed Chris b.-he's on a plane to Cambodia over the Arabian desert at the mo-

but he actually knew quite well a vet. officer of the Handschar. he has good stories.

Do a search and you'll find some stuff.

Thanks for the heads up, I will look. I was stationed with VMGR-352 out of El Toro. I was an 0231 (Intel).

I know this is an old post, but recently I aquired some 13th Waffen SS items from my second cousin while cleaning out her parents house after the death of her mother.  I ended up getting a Grey-green Fez, EM/NCO Collar tab, the Croatian Sleeve Shield, and Edelweis.  If anyone is interested in the photos of the items that I got, please let me know.  She ended up sending about three packages of stuff, including a tunic for an Obershutze from 17th WSS PZGren Division.  The tunic is battle worn and is currently getting restored by a person who restores stuff for the Smithsonian.  It was missing the collar tabs and Sleeve eagle, so I had to pay for originals.  All thread used is original and all insignia is also.  I pick up the tunic on 30 July 16.  I have another package coming in a month of some edged items including a HJ Knife.  If anyone wants some photos of it all, I will start a new thread and post them.  Please let me know.
