Hi Carl,

THANKS for this! I've been to Margraten several times and saw 4 MOH's there. I researched Lt. Col. Cole and that's an amazing story. Like all MOH's.

I add these to my database, Carl and when I have their stories I'll post them here.

There are several MOH winners that got their MOH in Holland but aren't buried here. I am researching them too. On the top of my head, there was a 101st Airborne trooper by the name of MANN as well.

Thanks again, Carl. [img]graemlins/moh.gif[/img] I will follow up on this, just give me a while...

Stevin

Are you planning to buy a MOH Stevin? I still try you to start collecting.

Volkbert, we have a battle to fight in order to MAKE Stevin start collecting.

Stevin will not start collecting militaria until Carl buys himself a computer. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Stevin start with a small item, a black wound badge or Kriegsverdienskreuz and try to find out how it feels to own this historical pieces!

German Militaria for sale? Where?? )

Here you can buy the most fantastic items: http://www.snyderstreasures.net/

All real stuff!

That's almost as bad as buying anything from Chuck Wariner from Colorado.

I don't know that guy but will not forget his name.

Good dealers are hard to find!

Well, Hold on there! What do you actually have in the way of British Militaria? And I also mean the good stuff you have stashed away!

Hello there Stevin, Volkbert und Martin.

Volkbert--that's a DEFINATE 10-4 good buddy--stay as far away from chuck wariner as possible. He is one of the biggest militaria dealing creeps on this planet. Bill Smith and I can both cite you stories about that guy.

Thanks for showing Stevin part of my Briticsh collection Martin also I have two Royal Navy Submariners badges and a Union Jack (Proper?) Flag and a .303 Enfield spike bayonet.

Oh Stevin, but the German stuff has been sent into the future via a Time-Machine. I sent it there because it will be worht much much more than now and, I will be sending out a "Treasure map" of sorts, to those lucky enough to be chosen to recieve them.

The itmes were sent only 50 years ahead in time--so when you guys are in your 80's, you will be going on the hunt for Carl's Lost Treasures.
