Hi guys, as a forum we have agreed to to start various fixed threads on the vast array SA (Sturm Abteilung) buckles. Please post any Brass SA buckles with the mobile Swastika. There are lots of variations of this buckle so this should be a great thread to look at and invaluable for the SA collector. I know Rob Lachance and David North are avid SA collectors so it looks promising, get posting
Hi all..
Has anyone had dealings with maxim naidenov..digger
from village sasnovitch, russia ..albeit he says he lives in murmansk..
I have sent him a lot of money for items i listed
( prematurely it seems ) on my thread, these include
ss chess trench art board, ss buckles, ss mess tin ,
well it seems he has previous history for ripping off diggers and collecters, and after repeated requests
for track number and post info..he has disappeared
not answering my emails, texts etc, while i hope i will get my items, its looking a tad shaky..so beware if offered any items from him..he is ,as of now unable to receive any payments rom western union ,moneygram
and unless i get my items , wil be reprted to police, here in uk and russia..perhaps some russian members know of him..any info would be great..seems this is not my month for bad news regarding relics
cheers

Here I have another pair of tabs which stuck me. They looks like pre war made by it's construction and buckram and materials used. Can someone tell me the right branch of them?
Schiffs Taucher which can be recognized by only one winkel on it.
I think that would be interesting to share it.
I will share some of the not oftenly seen straps.
They are not a my area of knowledge and interests, but I think I need to know more about.
Here is orange piped Hauptmann with VII cypher, IMO Wehrersatzdienstelle VII.
Another pair is the same Wehrkreis, but for Luftwaffe Verwaltung (administration) IMO.
I owe this nice KM admin straps and think it’s a rank of Magazinenmeister, but really interesting to find any information about the admins shoulder boars. That kind of KM straps I see first time, and I guess they are rare.
Any opinions?
Buxton arms fair (Derbyshire) Sunday 27 September, starts 10am at the Barcelo Palace Hotel.
Its a small fair but worth a look if your not to far away.
Just restoring a cap to my friend as he ask to place back the sweadband which is fall due of age and mothings, so decided to not change or add any replacements and just put it back by fastening with thread. I use original period black thread 0,20 mm whic as you can see fastened to the original visor stitching, some places where stitching on visor was missed I fastened it trough original visor/hat holes, which was made by saving mashine ( that is a not easy step). So, the cap nothing lost after that light restorung, but get back the sweatband.
