BURGERHAUS Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 [attachmentid=40592][attachmentid=40593]Gents Today being one of the nicer days of Spring I decided to venture down to the local antique and collectibles market. Am I glad I did. I almost had forgotten how exciting it is to go from table to table in search of nice items. I got to handle at my liesure, I didn't have to hear a lecture from an "expert" and there were some items mixed in with other collectibles to look at. No militaria tables per se. I truly beleive that nothing beats physically handling an item. No trick camera angles either. I relied on memory on this one. I also got a KdF tinnie I had never seen before mixed in with costume jewelry in a cigar box. It was a blast. Have a good day. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURGERHAUS Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Don Coming from you that means alot. The legitimate maker numbers for Frauenschaft badges are hard to keep straight without any reference in hand. Frank & Reif is ingrained in my memory for some reason. Have a good day.

Peter J Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Robert, finding TR related items in a cigar box was more than plausible in my early collecting days. The thrill of the hunt is long since gone . It's nice to see that there is still some hope. Nice find KRPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
