Delta Int'l Catalog

[MAP]

I continue to clean out my late mothers house. Found this in the attic yesterday.

My copy of one of Delta International's catalogs. It has no date but would expect it to be from the early 70's. I hope to find my copy of the Unique Imports catalog as well

As a child I bought two items.

One the infamous fantasy FM SS armband and the other a copy Kriegs flag. I still have both. I often use the Kriegs flag as a backdrop for my photos.

Enjoy.

So..........

Found this letter in a suitcase in the attic of my childhood home along with all my other things my mother saved since I was a boy.

I wrote when I was probably 12 or 13 to Militaria International. I always thought I purchased this from Delta but appears not (unless they were sister companies as they are just a few miles from each other)

Added the actual armband to the photo.

I love that feeling of a 'Million' memories in an instant, whenever I find my old things at my parents..

She saved EVERYTHING and even wrote little notes on most with a date as well. Took me a few hours to go through hundreds of items from Pre-K to Grad School.

Sadly I had to cull the vast majority (do I really need all the Valentine Day cards from kids in my Kindergarten class? LoL) But I saved just enough so that my boys can dig them out of my attic one day and look through memory lane.

Thanks Bill. Lots of other "treasures" found. This was just all the "paper" stuff.

When I see this in your catalog, I wonder if this is from them ?? I was going to bid on this not too long ago..

Wow! scary. If it was from them, a $4.50....I highly doubt it was original.

Back then, I thought they were...but I was just a kid.

I've got an old catalog from "WW2 products Ltd." Same type of company,
I've had the catalog sence I was probably 14 years old. I did once buy and iron cross
out of it. It was made of lead with a safety pin for attachment.

Hello MAP! I too bought from the Delta catelogs back in the early 80’s when I was a teen interested in military stuff. Do you have any old Delta catelogs that picture the reproduction Japanese kamikaze headbands? To this day these repros are being passed off as originals. Here is one of those reproductions in the pic.
