    Default Part of my New Zealand Collection

    Hi all,
    This is the main part of my collection that I display. While it is nothing compared with many of your collections, as I'm only 16 I have many years of collecting ahead.

    While I have titled this "New Zealand Collection" some foreign items are included, they are few in number as it is really hard to get here, particularly genuine German stuff. Anyway here it is:



    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    My Medal display case that displays mainly family war medals and associated items.
    (Ignore my Grandfathers fire brigade medal in the front)

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    Great, Great Grandfathers: WW1 Medal, discharge paper, dogtags, Returned services Pin and regiment badges.
    He served with the Canterbury Infantry Regiment, NZEF.

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    My Great Grandfathers WW2 medals, discharge papers, RNZAF cap badge, Blazer pocket, and some RNZAF items (not his). Given to me after he passed away in December 2010 (aged 89). Years of wearing the medals on his behalf to ANZAC day Parades paid off.

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    I collage of original photographs of the RNZAF given to me by my Great Grandfather (above).

    The Main Shelf.

    Compasses. From Left: Air Ministry P4A (Lancaster), Pioneer 1829 vehicle compass (DUKW) and Air Ministry P6 (Tiger Moth).

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    NZ made Mills Bomb.

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    NZ boxed civilian respirator. (These were never handed out to the public in NZ but stored by the government in civil defence shelters)

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    Gas Mask Collection.

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    NZ WW2 Battle Dress, SGT rank.

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    Sleeve close up, showing rank & insignia.

    Part of my New Zealand Collection
    Service Cap (date stamped inside) with NZ ONWARD badge.


    So that is pretty much all my current display pieces.
    I am really, really lucky to have many of the family items I have. I have my grandmother to thank as she knows that I will look after them and other than for insurance purposes have no interest in their monetary value.

    All comments and questions welcome.

    Thanks,
    The field dressing is made by Johnson & Johnson Pty, Ltd, Sydney. And Dated September 1941. So no not NZ.

    I'm in Hawke's Bay. You are lucky to have at least one Army surplus/collectables shop in Wellington, we have nothing up here so I have to rely on trade me to get new stuff.

    If you mean how do you start a new thread of your own go to "Forum" and then scroll down and select the appropriate category & sub category. At the top of the category will be a green link "+ Post New Thread" Click it and your away!
