Very nice collection. I also like the display with the black and red. Great contrast this way.
You buy often from Russia? I often find the shipping a gamble.

Thank you hvm, I think it turned out great as well!
No, I ordered something from Russia once. The shipping was one of the worst i have encountered so far. It took 2 months to arrive and the track & trace goes black after a while.
Very nice Marten, it will fill up quickly.
I have a few new acquisitions that i thought i should share. The first one is from my friend Aldo. He gave me a wonderful unexpected gift as a token of friendship. A few weeks back i got a message that i could retrieve a package that came in from overseas. Thinking it was something i had purchased from a militaria dealer. Walking back home i noticed the name and adress it came from and was confused.. I could not stop smiling after i had opened up the package. I am still very thankful for this generous gift
A Danziger 1st pattern SS TK was smiling upon me when i took it out of the box with a nicely written christmas card inside. I made a topic about this to thank Aldo, and in the hopes it would foster other good things here to happen on the forum in our community. A link to this tread is here: Danziger early christmas gift from my friend!
A few weeks later i received the package i was expecting. I got this M1/52 Deschler & Sohne SS TK for a great price and could not pass on it. It still displays very well even though it is missing the prongs on the back. Now i only need a minty example of this maker to satisfy my urge! Unfortunately the prices of skull insignia have gone up significantly and will have to wait with this since it is a lot of money to spent.

I've recently acquired a Waffen SS-TK tab. A Dachau variant that was probably a bringback by an US Veteran. It has some glue on it from being in a scrapbook and it has some writings on the back, Billy M - HR 301. I got it for a really nice price compared to the mint condition examples that are out there for sale!
I did make a thread about this piece before buying it: SS-TV Collar Tab
I liked the reply that jHAM made, "Quote" "Billy M brought those for show and tell. Homeroom #301. I never saw anything like that at my show and tell."
Also this grim looking totenkopf has entered my collection. A small specimen that is seen on the Freikorps - Wehrwolf. Very happy with it since it fits perfectly next to my Assmann Wehrwolf Tk.
For additional information and reference pictures you can see it in this thread that i made: Wehrwolf Totenkopf?
The last photo is next to my Assmann made Freikorps - Wehrwolf totenkopf. I wonder what the maker of the last acquired specimen is?

Dos,
What an incredible collection! I particularly like the sideward facing Spanish skull.
Thank you for sharing!

Joel
Thank you Joel! The Spanish Lusitania Skull is one of my favorite for being so highly detailed. Please also look at the link on that post, Full of reference!

Dos,
The Spanish Lusitania skulls have to be the most interesting skulls that Ive ever seen. Thank you for once again sharing them/link to us. If one was looking I would hate the ask the price!
Regards,
Joel
These men are wearing SS-TK Collar tabs. I don't think they are the Dachau made ones, since these cloth TK are positioned vertically on the collar. I don't know if it is possible, but can anyone tell from what division these men are? I think those are luger holsters on there belts and K98 pouches. To bad they are not wearing any special insignia or cuff bands. None the less a sharp photograph! I don't posses much knowledge on helmets, but i think these are early M35 DD SS helmets? Click to enlarge, Enjoy!

I’d say early war, no awards, not sure what SS-TV unit.
Post May 1940, no unit number under the TK.
Great photo, and I’d think apple green DD helmets.
