Medal Storage
So I was wondering, how do you store your medals and the like. I'm trying to figure out what I should do.
I live in Arizona, so it's basically dry desert all the time.

Mid War Pekuro Officer’s Schirmutze
This is an interesting Heer Infantry officer's cap named to an Officer of Reserve. The cap has a distributor mark along with the standard Pekuro markings. My Pekuro sensei, Stonemint, has informed me this is a mid war version made by Pekuro. The cap is quite clean without any moth damage. It was likely a left at home hat for wear on leave from the front.
Need help! What is this? Another piece of grandfathers collection.
What is this?
First off... is it real? Seems like something that would be reproduced, but it seems to have correct markings.
Thanks! Reagan

What is the SHD ?
This man is wearing a tab that says SHD. What does that stand for? I did not put the Kopierschutz on the foto. Thanks.
Brazilian’s Nazi-Facist inspired pins
It's not exactly axi's itens but a testimony of an political era.
I think that the "Ação Integralista Brasileira" (Brazilian Integralist Action) is a very unknow political movement out of Brazil. But like many other countries Brazil had it's own nazi-facist inspired party in the 30's era. This movement was very popular and had numerous members until was banished in 1938.
The Integralist movement return as a nationalist democratic party in the 80's and still exists but very unrepresentative in actual brazilian democracy.
The pictures represents integralist marchs and a integralist nazi inspired salutation.
I find these two itens in Rio de Janeiro's antiquary tree years ago.
The first is a blue shield with a sigma integralist simbol over a white field and it allude the integralist flag. The southern cross constellation in the white field, like for the australians, is a brazilian national simbol. The reverse has the maker's mark "MAGALHÃES SUCUPIRA RIO".
The second represents a integralist sigma over a brazilian blue map.

Zenos Warbird Video Drive-In Big May 2009 Newsletter
Youre invited to drop by Zenos Drive-In Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In - World War 2 airplane videos playing live online and sample this months outstanding lineup of aircraft & combat videos playing live online.
As always, every film on our web site is showing for free, as they have been since 1997. Enjoy!
This month At the Matinee youll see the premiere of our first Vietnam War feature, The Twenty Five Hour Day: A Story of Air Force F-105s and another debut, John Hustons controversial Battle of San Pietro, along with the return of three popular films: A-26 Invaders Attack!, The 416th Bomb Group in Color, Winged Artillery with cannon firing B-25Gs and FLAK!, all about Axis WW2 AAA.
The Twenty-Five Hour Day: A Story of Air Force F-105s (Color) New with color corrected print. This film offers a unique look inside F-105 Thunderchief (The Thud!) fighter-bomber operations when the air campaign against North Vietnamese supply lines was ramping up into to high gear. Secretary of State Robert McNamara gives the broad outline of the Thud's primary mission in a series of strategic briefings: to strangle the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the strategic supply line from North to South. You'll see exciting color footage of F-105s, F-4s, F-100s and other aircraft hitting bridges, supply depots convoys and other key targets along the Trail, and carrying out tactical operations in the South in conjunction with air mobile units. You'll also see F -105 mission briefings, base operations, midair refueling, maintenance and up close scenes of everyday pilot life on an very active forward base, working Twenty-Five Hour Days.
A-26 Invaders Attack! The 416th Bomb Group in Color Exclusive color corrected production from Military Arts Pictures. Legendary SFP 186 combat cameramen rode along with 416th Bomb Group A-26 Invaders during March and April 1945, with color film in their cameras. The results are some of the most beautiful and dramatic footage to come out of the World War II. You'll see fleets of silver fast attack bombers soaring through towering cumulus clouds before unloading torrents of bombs deep inside the Third Reich. An added bonus is a cache of remarkable still pictures taken by 416th Group (668th, 669th, 670th and 671st Bomb Squadrons) staff photog "Sergeant Cachat" showing A-26s on location and their crews.
John Huston's Battle of San Pietro New! Exclusive production with additional footage. Director John Huston's "San Pietro" was one of the most dramatic and controversial combat documentary films to come out of World War II. Almost alone, it portrayed dead and wounded American soldiers and civilians on the battlefield (always with reverence) and unflinchingly revealed the face of War. It's release was delayed by the U S Army, who said it would be bad for morale and that it portrayed the controversial Italian Campaign in a bad light. General George Marshall was the film's savior in 1945, saying, "This picture should be seen by every American soldier in training. It will not discourage but rather will prepare them for the initial shock of combat." The Battle of San Pietro was fought in Winter, 1943, with Fifth Army forces attacking from the south against the heavily defended German "Winter Line" in and around the town of San Pietro Infine, south of Monte Cassino. The Germans held the mountain tops and poured fire down into the Liri valley on exposed, Allied troops. After four successive, costly Allied attacks and enemy counter-attacks, the Germans pulled out when Allied troops took the high ground
Winged Artillery (Color) Nine 75mm cannon firing B-25Gs of the 48th Bomb Squadron, 7AAF, based on Apamama in the Gilbert Islands, conduct a hair raising tree top level strike on the Japanese air base on Mille. Also features amazingly well preserved and very rare color footage of daily life of aircrew and ground personnel stationed on the islands. As a bonus, you'll watch Sea Bees using heavy equipment to transform these hard won tropical atolls into fully functioning air bases and ground crews maintaining the Mitchell's massive canons.
FLAK! is a fascinating World War II training film for pilots on the theory and practice of evading antiaircraft fire. ("FLAK" is a German acronym for Fliegerabwehrkanone = "Flyer Defense Cannon.") The specifications, capabilities, and targeting methods of a variety of German and Japanese AAA pieces are discussed as well as both high and low altitude evasions tactics . Well illustrated with charts, animations, and combat film.
If you havent stopped by Zenos Drive-In before, we also feature 1940-45 vintage WWII Army & Navy films and pilots manuals on how to fly the F4U, F6F, P-38, P-39, P-40, P-47, P-51, P-61, TBF/TBM, AT-6/SNJ, B-17, B-24, B-25, A-20, A-26, B-26, B-29, and Stearman N2S .

Totenkopf Collar tab set
Hi all,
Am new to this forum. I have been unable to find much info about these collar tabs of mine. I've had them since about 1986 and they are in great condition. Think they're unissued? Any idea what they're worth?
