Mil Surplus Collectors????? Memorabilia/Collectables

[majspud]

Here is Otto and Karl c. 1911. I have a picture of Karl in his Imperial uniform and Gew98 bayonet, but haven't seen it for at least 5 years. It may turn up in the basement purge this year.

MS

Also missing is a squad photo of my grandfather and three comrades as bicycle troops, with three M89 Danish Krags and a machine gun. I really want to find these two.

I have a lot of Nazi memorabilia from my grandfather's escapades in Patton's 3rd Army. Lots of armbands, a cap, a K98 bayonet (I believe), and some era stuff such as stamps, coins, and pins. I can post photos if anyone is interested.

My Grandfather was a pilot in the Army Airforces, 446th BG heavy (The Vultures) out of Bungay, England. He flew the B-24's "Bangin' Lulu" and later the "Red Ass". The Red Ass has survived and is at the Pima Air and Space museum in Pima, Arizona. At the end of the war the name Red Ass was seen as politically incorrect, so it was re-named the "Bungay Buckaroo". He was only 19 years old when he flew his first mission over Germany.

This is a bracelet my dad made for his cousin Emelia.
It's heavy gauge aluminum. Obviously good quality. Still shines. A decent commodity at the time I imagine for Germany.

Inscibed on the back :Made from Junkers 88 shot down in Iceland.
On the front : Emelia

He was stationed there for a spell.

The original Walther Legend on the slide was almost buffed off but you can still read it. It also came with three magazines two war time and one Walter marked post war. Lots old X'ed out eagles but not the same as military eagles. Really liked this one.

Not to sure how common these are. They were given to the men (obviously) sometime after the invasion. This is my dads. Name shopped out.
