Here are a few items i have regarding memorabilia .. Not much i know, but i once did have a very large collection of cap badges of multiple countries. I sold these a number of years ago as to many fakes were coming to the market which were very difficult to separate from the originals. Well that is only 1 reason, i have others to, but not as critical as being sold fakes. :madman: Waffen SS Totenkopf Skull Hat Badge, which is NOT an original. Here is a 1914 Star, this medal was a British Empire campaign medal given to Officers and Soldiers for service during World War One. I also have this German Military Jacket which i honestly don't recall where it came from. Don't even know any of its history, thou looking at it it is definitely post war.
Great thread. Ive got quite a few "artifacts" that ill hopefully get here in due time. I mainly collect WWII German stuff-but have some Imperial dating back to The Constitution War. I also have a few WWI & WWII American items, a few WWII French items. The first item ill try getting posted to this site--will be the first time its ever been posted anywhere on the internet. What I have is a ultra rare--and in mint condition--German Mauser--which is a Sniper variant--and it is unkn how many were built. I estimate from between 5 rifles built to no more than 50. The reasoning behind this is several fold. My rifle is a prototype sniper rifle. It has a 1936 stamped 25 round - ribbed MG-13 Ansteckmagazin permanently fixed to it. Most of the rifles of this type you will find have 10-20 round mags in ti--not fixed. I also have a bit of info on this rifle--which is actually called an S-42 M-98.
