I have a Rare German book with pictures(119) and writing (in German) old German newspaper clippings, from 1914 to 1947, the story and pics start and end. very rare one of a kind pictures. it looks like a family scrap book, from one generation (WW1) to the next (ww2). it was given to my grandfather, from (picture taker) Erwin H. Kuchel. it contains pictures of hitler, and other high ranking officers, at compiegne monument. and meetings in a train, with german soldiers all around area, and a lot more. I would like to get an appraisal on this rare piece of history, that should be shared by everyone.

I just got this today, and have never seen one before. I was wondering if it is worth more (or less) than the ordinary NSDAP member pin. It was obviously meant to be worn in the lapel button hole. Any ideas? On the back it says: RZM and M1/75
Germanische Leistungsrune. I do not own this badge but was considering a purchase. Can I get a few comments on the attached photos? These are the only photos I have available. Thanks in advance.

Here's a nice SA Medical Officer's Brown Shirt for a medical Obersturmbannfuehrer, Standarte 88, Wetzlar/Lahn or Dillenberg, Group Hessen.
Research has indicated this could be from San.-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Bohrer who assumed the position of the unit's doctor in December 1936.
There is one set of loops on the pocket, likely for a sports badge.
Missing the eagle but a nice condition KM Oberfunkmaat pullover white summer shirt with blue cuffs and collar
