Hi, I received a delivery today. It will be many weeks of reading.
I am almost afraid to touch them, really nice photos, history, and comments.
Collecting is very fun (and other people are upset), but I am happy to have find this forum with all expertise and information.

Bill's books are filled with some incredible Third Reich items.. The stories he tells as to how he came in possession of some of these treasures are quite interesting and some quite funny.

You will enjoy these books from a well respected dealer.

Best regards, stay safe

Bill and Patrick Shea are really nice guys. Of course so are rest of the Ruptured duck team.
I do not own any of those books, but they are on mine shopping list.

Enjoy your reading and your stay here at War relics forum!

Bill's books have some fabulous items shown, and the photography is superb... some of his captions are a bit 'off' at times,
this tropical Bf 109 tail fin swastika was once in my collection and I traded it off to Bill, and to read the caption of it in his book
you would think it was picked up by a US serviceman, it actually came from an Australian Air Force SGT who lived in country
Victoria, and he picked it up in North Africa during WW2......

This was in Bill's personal collection, and I traded the Bf 109 cut out swastika for this lovely Luftwaffe Flak
Schellenbaum Flagge, which still resides with me now. Sadly the large eagle was not part of the deal...
(and some other items were thrown into the deal to pry the flag out of Bill).
