[Chopperman]

There are some really great looking items posted here.cool militaria
Most of my stuff has that "been there-done that" look.

I do have one cross that I would consider mint---

Here are mine! The tab on the one Luft buckle is a little dry, but there's no doubt that is was close to unissued! The DAK cap is part of a bundle of 5 that I got. I've had quite a few more minty things, but sadly I don't have any pictures of them.

This grouping of medals were given to me by good friend of the widow of RCASC Cpl John Delves, among many other items including his Canadian insignia and cap badges, an early SA/SS Gorget complete with chain shown on the 22 Standarte tunic ensemble, all came in the original box with the 1946 postmarked box and stamps, that John sent to his wife in Vancouver Island. The friend gave them to me as he is not a collector and he knew I would not split these up and sell them but honor John's memory by keeping his war memento's together and together they will stay so long as I am alive.

I have had other incredible items given to me, its amazing what is still out there. However, the families, now getting onto the 3rd generation researches the internet and profit off the items. The days of the veterans or widows giving these items to collectors who value them not for their monetary value but for their historical value are pretty much over.

One amazing gift!

That cross is probably the nicest Imperial EKI I've seen...well done and thanks for showing.
