This year I cannot really call my SOS pickups a "haul" as I normally do. However, the two items that I did find were very high on my list to fill gaps in my collection: A 1st pattern Panzer wrapper and a 1st model Luftwaffe dagger with aluminum fittings. In all my years of collecting, I have never owned either, but now I do.
EDIT: Update! Please scroll down for photo shoots of both the dagger and the wrapper.

The Panzer wrapper is absolutely beautiful I think I may recall seeing it there, good score!
It was my first ever show, I was told it was not up to the usual standard. However I walked off with a few small early equipment pieces, no nice helmet unfortunately.
Hi guys, thanks for all of the comments. Sorry for the single photo last night. It was quite late by the time I was able to post and I was (and still am) tired from the show and the travel. Here is the Luftwaffe dagger. It is the nicest 1st model aluminum fitting example I could find in the entire show. And I looked and looked until Saturday noon when I finally purchased it. I've had the earlier nickel version for a while as well as some 2nd model examples, but I never had an aluminum 1st model. Therefore, "if you can only have one, make it a nice one" - right? It is a WMW - Waffenfabrik Max Weyersberg.
