    Oh, and quick question, Do you have any Idea what that metal badge in the First grouping is, It looks like it's missing a peice, but could be for a firemans helmet

    The metal piece looks like a shako plate to me. Great collection!

    Hmm, Could be, not seeing anything simmilar though

    Also, forgot 2 things

    1935 Russian Tank 6x30 Binoculars, Brass, looks almost like they were made by Zeiss

    and

    German Parade Sword. Gold Lions head with Ruby Eyes, Has the Scaber but both blade and sheath are bent about halfway down.

    Most of this stuff I get from Vets, I love all the stories they come with, knowing where each piece was picked up etc.

    Cool collection with some good items, but also a few duffers I am sorry to say. the HG and AK cufftitles in the first pic look to be replicas, certainly the Afrika Korps is without a doubt.

    I really like the flags, very cool.
    Regards,

    Jerry

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    Sorry, but I am not so sure of that. BMGDolan, could you possible post better pictures of said collar tab? It would be nice to see the reverse as well some close clear photographs of the front.
    Nice collection btw. If I may, what exactly is the thing below the odal runic tab suppose to be? Also, as said, the two cuff-titles in that image are reproductions. I would add the police badge may too be a reproduction as the bird looks similar to a pigeon, but I'm not completely positive as I don't collect police items.

    I can't post a better picture until I go home in a few weeks. It's dissapointing that the cuf titles are fake, and a little surprising. All of the patches/ cloth came out of a scrapbook put together by a vet when he was in Italy around 45-46. The more I look at it, I think the Tab may be a fake, both piping and rune look to have been printed on, rather than stiching. I'm no expert, but it dosen't bode well. Not sure on the police badge, it's not a real HQ picture.

    Not a huge loss, the entire scrapbook was given to me for free, and that is only about half of it, I'm getting the other half when He finds it
