My MAX show haul.

**TWS** · 09-25-2018, 03:26 AM

Just a quick down and dirty photo shoot of what I came home with. It all fit on the standing desk. Can't say the same about last SOS, but I was more restrained at this show.

1. Named Luftwaffe Flak Oberstleutnant service dress tunic.
2. Single button Heer M43 with Jaeger badge.
3. Double button Heer M43. Once a common cap but real ones in nice shape are getting harder.
4. Heer Panzergrenadier Officer visor cap. Later war with ersatz sweatband and black visor underside.
5. Mint '44 dated panzer crewman trousers (the very ones Waffenreich had posted a short while back - thanks Bob).
6. Field worn '40 dated steel Heer belt buckle with '41 dated tab.
7. Heer belt and aluminum buckle, unit stamped to 6. Schuetzen Regiment 1 of 1st Panzer Division. ( I have a Waffenrock stamped to the same exact unit down to the same company, so it was an easy decision to buy it).
8. Assmann type "K" Fallschirmjaeger badge in zinc.
9. The book "Panzer Krieg" by Jason Mark. Supremely detailed account of three Panzer-Abteilungen in Operation Blau/Stalingrad. A must for a combined Panzer and Stalingrad nerd like myself.

It was a pretty good show. Perhaps even better was the opportunity to hang out with and shoot the breeze with multiple members of forums who I normally just "see" on-line. I won't name names so as not to sully their reputations for having associated with me

Impressive ..you were at the right places at the right time is all I can say. Usually the good stuff is picked over leaving the lack lustre behind .

Congratulations on a very good hunt

The named uniform is a find in itself.

Best Regards Larry

Thank-you gentlemen! I actually got off to a slow start on Thursday. I only picked up the Panzergrenadier visor cap and it was a deal that was arranged a month in advance of the show. The seller was coming in from France for the MAX so we arranged to meet there and do the transaction. I also knew the panzercrew trousers were going to be there in advance but didn't know if the seller and I could come to terms. He's a great guy and a "friend" on another forum and we were eventually able to find a mutually agreeable price. The rest was due to hours of roaming the aisles on an intense "hunt". Oh, well the double button M43 turned up in the items of my friend whose tables I was helping to man! LOL, gotta love that. I really lucked out on the Schuetzen Regiment 1 stamped belt, but I would never have known it was there had I not been doing a lot of chatting and socializing. It came up in conversation that I had an SR1 Waffenrock... stamped to that exact company. What are the odds? The Jaeger M43 hat was a find, because I have a uniform it will go extremely well with. I need to get up and go in the next room and swap it on the mannequin head!
