awsome!

Here are a couple of items that are in pretty top notch condition from my collection. The RK w/EL is attributed and the newspaper articles of his exploits to win both awards were included along with other provenance. I have better SS helmets but for some reason I cannot find photos of them. Suffered a hard drive crash on my Mac a couple weeks ago and apparently the backup didnt get everything so back to re-photographing this Sunday...
The SA Dagger is bagged and tagged, the two visors are featured in the Shea/Beaver SS Headgear book, in fact the black Allgemeine officer is one of the two on the cover of the book.
The GdC and SR Officers pickelhaube are beyond compare. Nothing says Hello to a collector better than walking into a war room and seeing those...
Enjoy.

Here is something from my collection that is unissued with just some storage wear, as in it was stored flat since the war. This is the only Luftwaffe version of one of these that I have ever seen, in any condition, also seen a couple of army examples, but both were well worn.

Whatever its just an opinion.
Must be a pretty chunky house deposit if not a whole house tied up in those pieces Doug. Well done! I am jealous beyond compare.
Doug, you have just taken my breath away with those items
