any good for collecting ade?
Hi Ewan, all are very collectable. Nothing rare there. Many of those shown can still be found mint unissued. All look good. The only one I have a little doubt about is the NSFK winged man insignia.
What I would advise is to think about a collecting theme. I started off as most people do. I simply bought anything with a swastika on it. This is OK and many collect like that all thier lives. But a themed collection is really the best way to go. First, it displays better. Two, you become more expert in that one particular field. But whatever you do, have fun and enjoy it!
Cheers, Ade.
hi ade well as ive only been collecting 3 years i was like buying anything with a sawstika on it! what do you meen themed? i mostly buy armbands and car pendants! but i do have waffen ss spoons lufftwaffe spoons tableware etc but i like badges and stick pins but have my fingers burned already what do you focus on collecting mate?

Hi Ewan, I actually collect on three fronts: German, mainly Heer, SS and Luftwaffe, British Airborne and Soviet Red Army.
Cheers, Ade.
yeah cool mate i dream about your collection ahhh
i love waffen~ss items realy want a german visor cap from any part of the army got my eye on a few but i dont know what to look for and not to look for? what cap would be the ideal first visor cap to collect i assume waffen ss visor will be more £'s than a heer visor? whats cheapest?
thanks ade
Don't even think about an SS cap unless you have several thousand Pounds to spend.
A good Heer or Luftwaffe NCO's grade schirmutze can be bought for £300 to £400.
Cheers, Ade.

No, this one does not look good.
I would suggest you avoid E Bay. It is a minefield for even experienced collectors.
I will sort out a list of dealers I consider trustworthy and send you a PM but I have a really busy week and a deadline to meet, so it might be the weekend before I can do this.
Cheers, Ade.
hi ade the weekend would be fine brother
