Athena mit Dadelkiste...

[Tony8]

By default my favorite, as it's the only SS piece I own.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Well done.

[Wagriff]

If you had to have just One piece, that is a good one to have! Indeed, well done! Very nice!

By default my favorite, as it's the only SS piece I own.

Very nice. I prefer quality over quantity anyhow, though no one will fault you for possessing both.

Thanks for the nice thoughts on this humble cap I've found myself the steward of, especially coming from folks with such striking collections of SS material as yourselves.

I agree. If you have to pick, quality. I don't understand the branch piping fetishists or the "skull" collectors. If you own one of these things as it was in the period—in its entirety, you have a certain understanding for what a dinky-ass thing the badge actually is and how it is best appreciated as a constituent part that makes up a whole. Everyone has their own thing, and the hobby itself is kind of inherently silly so I am not judging the tastes and collecting idiosyncrasies of others. I'm just saying I don't understand. But there is a place for everyone.

These two caps represent one third of my entire collection and two thirds of the German caps I own. My collection is small partly (though not entirely!) by choice.

Very nice caps! No collection starts with 100 pieces. It is built over many years reflecting your tastes and knowledge. Well done.

[Tony8]

Thanks. Your collection is a marvel and the images you've posted of it have helped everyone. I'd love to see it in person some day.

A man after my own heart. One cap cries out for another, but these two nice examples are a whole on to themselves.
