Sir:

If you are mad, then I am madder still.

This incidental ornament is still on offer.

I think you should buy it.

Dear Friend, as I wrote, just twenty minutes with the Suze Orman show as well as looking at my credit card debt made me realize the folly of my profligacy.

I have not bought any serious Nazi regalia in 18 months, and such is likely to remain the case until the worm turns, as it were.

My role has devolved into internet scribbler qua ranter.

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

I do appreciate greatly the Oscar Wilde quotes, though.

This is Louis XIV, and I cannot afford his grandeur as much as same appeals.

I do not have the feudal relationships at hand necessary for the embroidery and acreage.

Indeed.

I feel I am in a sinking bathtub with my wife and banker, gunwhales awash.

We feel like the men in this picture.

Our finances look like this...

Someone should have told the child playing in the rubble to collect all the cap 'sculls' so as to sell them 65 years hence.

Of course, he likely lost a parent or more in the war, and, within a few years, this place became the glacis of no man's land.

Today it is once more in the center of things, but the Hotel Kaiserhof is long gone.

Such was across the Wilhlemplatz from the Reichskanzlei.

Please look closely at the pictures I posted and your answer awaits you. The site is in Germany, in Westfalen.

For the sake of provenance, this nice tunic went to the collection of member mseagle, and from his collection, it came to mine. My thanks to him for the opportunity to add such a nice piece. The cap in the photo below was from Bruce's fine collection. I miss Bruce's participation here and wish him well.

Hopefully we are all better off now as compared to 2009, both in health and finances.

We are happy that your collection is growing. As to the commonweal in 2015 vs 2009, I cannot suggest for others. It is sad that Mr. Frog has left us, and I am no longer in touch
with him.
