Re: Likely Real not fake?
Hi Sid and Peter,
Much appreciated the affirmation of the 2 x badges. I am now the owner of the better looking one of the 2!
Peter you are right not to get too involved with these little demons! I think that is it for a while.....hopefully!!! I guess it is better to spend on a hobby than a woman?! ;.)
It is very expensive from Australia, especially the packaging and posting to here. Although it is worth it in the long term.At least these should appreciate, not like shares/stocks at the moment!!
Metal detecting in the islands such as New Guinea isn't too well recieved unfortunately. Australia has interests there as well as war dead and it is I am pretty sure illegal....though not 100% on that. Also it is far nicer to do metal detecting in a European paddock than a steaming jungle!
Thanks again guys.
All the best,
Dave

Re: Likely Real not fake?
Could someone explain the reasons why they collect these ground dug SS cap insignia please?
Don't get me wong, I find them to be fascinating but IMO the prices being asked for them are quite ludicrous and are only based on the equaly ludicrous prices of their much better condition counterparts that were meant to be on hats but are now mostly displayed on little stands of perspex or in framed display cases.
Once they are taken out of the ground, sold and the information lost of where they where found/when and by whom, does that not defeat the whole object of these discoveries?
I'm honestly interested because I find relics from, for example, an FW190 crash site much more desirable and interesting yet such fragments that are the same size, weight as a corroded SS TK, are not worth anything, maybe a few euros at the most.
It's all very curious to me because a crash site can be traced, the pilot's name researched, the history known.
A single TK cap badge dug up from the battlefields of who knows where is more desirable because?

Re: Likely Real not fake?
Hi Ben
The reason is very siimple
Im not collecting only dugs.
But if someone offered me a dug Of course I buy it
Im always asking about the history of this dug ,where was founded, how many years ago in witch circumstances i I like to know everything .
Belive me or not Im not only manacs of skull.
Im maniac of history
And if someone will show me a place of crashed FW 190 it is same enjoyment as if someone show me a skull.
About prices of skull im thinking they are overpriced but the antic dealers are mainly reason for this situation
I think not only skulls but all SS items are overpriced.
But if people buying them well, its their problem.

And now Im the proudly owner.
Pls dont divide collectors for betters or worst
