sun news paper artical

did any of you see the article in the sun ,,, grave robbers it seems the germans are getting very angry about diggers in the east of europe , especialy the taking of dog tags , and the leaving of bones ,un buried , and not reporting finds of bodys , they are talking of very seriouse punishment for this crime ????
any and all views on this , cheers ian
more to this thay are saying the russian maffia are encouraging digging for profit ?
it looks like the guys who do it right and with the best intentions are going to be tarnished with the brush of the bad guys , i think all diggers should be aware of the comeing troubles , becouse the bad ones are going to ruin it for the good ones "AGAIN"
OH and they are blaming collectors for creating the market
another excuse for making colecting of TR stuff iligal

Infanterie-Nachrichten, Sanitäts, Geschutze, erkennungsmarken from eastern front.

Hello.

Finally I got some new tags to show you.
They are obtained from a Russian source.
I like the "Geschutze" since it has lots of letters and a possible battle damage.
There is two strikes bloodgroup on the back of this tag
I also like the four strikes bloodgroup on the San.Ers-tag.
If you have any comments or opinions on the tags, please share them.

Best regards
Anders

I think i was almost ripped off on ebay….

Ok, there was this NSKK dagger i was bidding on, and something about it, really bugged me, and the freaking light went off.

Here is the ebay link, read the description really close, and compare it to the other link i provided;

N.S.K.K. Dagger - eBay (item 250629091769 end time May-15-10 00:27:57 PDT)

A well known WW2 German military dealer, showing his ad link;

Its the 6th one down;

WW2 GERMAN MILITARIA - Daggers

Look really close, the pic is the same, the NSKK dagger information is exactly the same.

I will be sending the information to German Militaria also for them to view it.
