Wow! What a great collection.
And I agree with Neil, your presentation of the stcikpins is very original and very cool
Congratulations
PS. If you allow me to make you a humble suggestion, it is this: Try looking for light gray felt instead of red to display your collection. The result IMHO visually improves a lot

Thanks. It was surprisingly difficult to find a pin cushion with black felt for the Panzer stickpins but I lucked out with this one. The cherry wood display cases I used only came with the red liner unfortunately. I will keep a lookout for displays with the gray . Ron

Just some friendly advice: Try to keep focus on what you want to collect. I see items that form a field of collecting by themselves and that are not related to other items, except them being German. And them being German is exactly the challenge as there are so many fakes and reproductions in that very popular field. If you keep your focus, you’ll be able to build up knowledge, improving your chances to find originals and not having to rely on people in forums, that can be mistaken too and are not always around when you need to decide.

Thanks. Yes, trying my best to focus on certain areas. My WW2 focus has been Panzer items such as badges, insignia and stickpins, EK2, some EK1, medal bars, ribbon bars. My WW1 focus has been RFC and RNAS. It's difficult sometimes not to let other items slip in such as Party Badges or WW1 French Flying Corps I have been very fortunate to have so many knowledgeable people on this forum willing to share their collecting knowledge, Ron
