Militaria Magazine

Any ideas, besides eBay, where back issues of the English version can be acquired? Without taking a second mortgage out on the house?

In the past, I have bought copies from Barbarossa Books in the UK. I know that supplies from H&C in France can be very problematic but Barbarossa are a helpful and reputable dealer.

Wonderful, thank you Martin. I'll definately check them out!

William--you might also want to get Militaria International--I think they are publishe every 2-3 months and are a very welldone magazine. You can also get that militaria magazine published by Krause publications--but it kinda sucks now. When I first bought one--they were great and I found a few dealers I still buy from that advertised in that newspaperlike magazine. When Krause took over--it went down hill very quick.

Shame too--because it used to be THE PREMIER Militaria Collectors source for the "good stuff."

I believe I have some old Militaria International mags at home, now that you mention it. Something else to check out. Thank Carl.

Glad to help.

Is this magazine the same as the german Internationales Militaria Magazine. That's a great magazine. I bought a copy last weekend and consider a subscription.

C.Evans · #8 (**permalink**) April 12th, 2003, 08:11 PM

Hi Volkbert--this one is published in the USA. Ill gladly send you a copy --- or this one when I get through with it if you want to look at it. Right now im doing some research on a few things mentioned in there and I am about to send them a long letter telling them about an error they made on an award they talked about in another issue.

Someone sent in a picture of "an old German" medal. The editor of the magazine correctly identified it as a Flandern Cross--but where he was in error at was when he said that the Flandern Cross was passed out to all Imperial German Navy men in ww1--- which is incorrect the Flandern Cross was passed out ONLY to men who served in the Marine Freikorps Brigades--which there were three and one even being commanded by my all-time favorite ww1 Uboat ace--Lothar von Arnauld de la Perrier.

Carl -- If you could send a copy of Militaria Magazine together with the pictures you are going to sent me that would be great. Always willing to learn new magazines.

I never heard of that wwI ace. Do you also read a lot about WWI?

C.Evans · #10 (**permalink**) April 12th, 2003, 10:14 PM

Hi Volkbert--ill go to Barnes and Nobles tonight and see if a new copy of this magazine is out yet. If not--ill send the one I have along to you.

Lothar von Arnauld de le Perrier, was Germanys greatest Uboat ace in ww1--along with Weddigen. In ww2, de la perrier was killed in a plane crash I think in 1940 or 1941

I used to do alot of studying on ww1, but found my main interest is ww2 with a few exceptions. Thanks to Rick Lundstrom---I now collect Imperial German items as well as ww2 stuff. When I get all copies of my stuff done--ill have the stuff broken down into Imperial and ww2 sections--and everything will be labled as properly as I can.

Ill let you know when I get everything done. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Carl! If they don't have a copy then you can also wait till a new one arives in the shop instead of sending your own. Otherwise you lose a number in your collection.

About the WWI ace, sailors must not fly!

C.Evans · #12 (**permalink**) April 12th, 2003, 10:36 PM

Thats not a problem--I dont actively collect magazines anymore. But ill get you one and if I find another good one--ill try to send it along.

volkbert · #13 (**permalink**) April 14th, 2003, 09:20 PM

Thanks in advance Carl, I appreciate this very much!

Tonight I tested my scanner. It was a gift from a friend and I have no software like photoshop. So I had to try some possibilities with the software I have. And managed to make good scans and reduce the image size for the internet.

C.Evans · #14 (**permalink**) April 14th, 2003, 10:00 PM

Quite welcome Volkbert, ill try to be finished with the magazine in about a week or so, then Ill send it to you along with something from the Hooters Girls - and Stevin gets something from them too. His will be with yours.

Stevin · #15 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2003, 05:39 AM

Hmmmmmmm..........Hooooooters.........

By the by, Carl, any news on a possible move date? I WILL finally get around sending you the stuff I have for you...You know, the stuff I promised to send you, like 6 months ago!?

volkbert · #16 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2003, 06:19 PM

Hi Carl and Stevin,
I understand Volkbert will soon receive some Hooters stuff. Don't know what to think of that, because I'm Volkberts girlfriend!

Just kiddin', I'm actually quite curious myself, since I once visited Hooters.
Take care, Barbara

Er eh hem--Stevin--I finally finished moving last few days in February

ill PM you my new address or you can get it from Volkbert if you wish--but ill PM it anyway. Heh heh--do I smell some MERCI Chocolate coming my way?

Oh and the thing from H

TERS is something small. The ladies were selling something neat and I thought both of you would like something from there. Its quite smalll but quite electrifying [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi Barbara--and hope to have you peek in here more often. First off--Congradulations on the baby and--I promise you--the HOOTERS gift is an interesting one--in fact--ill send you one as well.

Martin--I think you meant either: Circle the Wagons or Form a Square.

Ha ha ha--PzJgr/Stevin--you guys crack me up

volkbert · #22 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2003, 07:55 PM

Sorry guys I'll have to protect my computer better!

But on the other hand although she is a wife she definitely knows something about militaria. But is it because she is really interested or that I talk about it everyday??

Carl - thanks for the congrats! The inheritaor of my collection is coming

urqh · #23 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2003, 08:11 PM

No Carl, your wrong mate..If Martin keeps hearing Dresen then hes entitled to form a defensive circle...That way he can run around in circles more often.....Anyway you surely knew our Martin was referring to the Boer war which he is and expert on....Sorry Martin..anyone asks..Ill furnish the answer...and is quite entitled to form a defensive circle in the form of a Laager.

Martin will glady answer any questions on the mk3 Oxen and cart..

Hic Shurley shim mishtake again..

Martin Bull · #24 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2003, 08:15 PM

Gentlemen, please ....

As I'm sure Friedrich will confirm, the 'defensive circle' was the standard manouevre of bf110 'Zerstorer' squadrons in the BofB when menaced by RAF fighters.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
