South Staffordshire Regiment Tie “Sweetheart” Pin-WW2

I have had this pin in my possession for the last 5 years, and would like to know what its approximate value is.
It still has the red enamel on the crown area, and the blue enamel on the banner. The fastener is a long bar and straight/safety pin type. Overall, it is in good condition for its age.

Need help! Luftwaffe Sport Shirt Eagle and Deutsche Wehrmacht Armband: Condition too good to be authentic?

Hi, all. I saw these two pieces recently, both from the same seller. Both pieces appear (in the pictures I had emailed to me and in-person) to be in very good condition, but I am wondering if it’s "too good." I actually think the sport shirt eagle might be okay… It’s soft and appears to be well-stitched, but is just very new-looking. The armband I am not so sure about. In person it seemed a bit starchy and very new. I’m also not sure if the yellow color should be just a hair darker or if it’s just not as dark as some of the aged ones I have compared it to. What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Adam

NICE! 141st Aero Squadron Portrait

After getting into a discussion on unusual Air Service squadron insignia documented in photos, I remembered this image from my collection. He's wearing a 141st AS pin below a beautiful bullion wing. On the left sleeve, he's wearing a 2nd Army patch with an aviation cockade sewn below the "2" footing.
I should know his face, but it escapes me right now. I remember seeing his face amongst a collage of individual pilot photos from the 141st squadron. All were ID'd. I just need to find that image again...

A couple of Brekers

Here are two Hitler plaques by Arno Breker that I have added to my collection. The 1st one is very large at 43cm and weighs in at about 25lbs. It was struck to be displayed in official buildings such as the Reich Chancellery. The second and much smaller plaque and was struck in celebration of Hitler's 50th Birthday. Anytime you can find a piece by Breker it's kinda special IMO.
