2012; what are you hoping to buy/find in 2012?

[Little Mermaid]

I am not sure of the fodder requirement for a private household, or the solid waste issues en suite?

Camels and other long-legged animals are best kept in surroundings where they can roam as they please, is my view on it. I would never dare keeping such a creature on a shelf with my hats

Is just an eternal joke here, the camel thing, but they are cute

Danke FB !

No pressure then ! I hope not to disappoint........it's a labour of love and when one question is answered another two are raised.

That's the fun with collecting i guess, you'll never ever know everything.

A response from a sound historical mind. Nor should we know everything, since fate denies us such a thing. I can tell you that the people at the time gave far less thoughts to the things on their heads than do we.

The tendency in these precincts to take one's self too seriously requires a remedy. This generalization does not apply to Stinschen, but to others.

Absolutely.

I was lucky to spend a couple of hours talking with my wifes grandfather recently about his experiences in Italy in 1943. He had loads of photos but the things he remembered had nothing to do with what he was wearing.

I have nothing but respect for all those who by circumstance, found themselves involved.

I´m bringing this one to life again
"2012; what are you hoping to buy/find in 2012?" Hm... I am currently trying to hunt down a grey or green KM helmet with a minty decal, KM binoculars, another KM Schirmmütze and whatever catches my fancy.

AS many HJ and BDM postcards that I can find (and afford)

I'm hoping to add a war dated Enfield No. 5 Jungle Carbine and either an Enfield No. 2 or S&W Victory Model .38 caliber revolver to my weapons collection.
And I need to grow my Luftwaffe collection as well.

Well, I did find my No. 5 Enfield, it should be here soon. I haven't added to my Luftwaffe collection yet but I was able to get these from my Father-In-Law's estate:

This is just a bonus that I had not even thought of back in 2011, a 1944 Lithgow SMLE:
