Collection cupboard re-vamp !

Hey guys

Well, since January 2008, I have now found so much stuff that I have had to totally re-vamp my cupboard to accomodate all my finds.

I have attached the pictures of my cupboard below for you :) :)

Hope you like my display !

Remember, everything in this cupboard I have found with a metal detector in ENGLAND, (apart from the small number of finds form the Ardennes). Who needs to go abroad to get WW2 relics ??

I have also included pictures of each shelf and then close ups of each portion of shelf so there's lots of photos. Click on them to see a bigger closer up version.

Please also note I have taken a picture of the underneath of Shelf 2, just to show how cool the bases of the cartridges look and the fact that you get a much better impression of how many there are :D :D

Enjoy !

Unfinished Panzerkampf Abzeichen - Genuine?

Hi, could someone please tell me if this is indeed a genuine unfinished Panzerkampf Abzeichen? Maker would also be appreciated. A friend wants to buy, but is unsure. I have my doubts, the dumbbell shaped tracks being one. Many thanks. Regards Thomas.

Imperial EK, Repro???

Hello Gents

Could I have any opinions on this please, I purchased it several years ago, I seem to be discovering quite a few replicas and fakes in my collection...mostly thanks to the forum and its members, just wondering where this one stood as Im not too "genned up" on EKs.

Many thanks
