Militaria and WW2 history forum and topsites. Sõja ajaloo portaal.
Picked this up today, onlt ever seen them in books…the way I was able to get it is interesting.
I had to go to my psych today, His rooms are in a building where the supreme court has its offices, |I met a gentleman in the lift, He had a Order of Australia lapel pin and was very distinguished.After my appointment I was downstairs having a smoke, when this gentleman came out for the same reason…He saw one of my tattoos, a Large Heer eagle with a eidlewiess instead of a swastika, and my other tatto which includes the word Iraq….He commented that he was a collector, and was heading to the militaria store to pick up his lateste purchase, a chained SS dagger, he asked if I wanted to come along and see the store. Well the store was great, though a litle pricy on some items, and reasonable on others….I saw this in the display cabinet and was debating wether I should grab it….he came over and asked if i was going to buy it…I said, maybe, still thinking about it,,he then turned around and said "listen, I can see your a veteran, and I also noticed you went to the psychs floor, I dont want to patronise you by buying it for you, you were a soldier and you have your pride, how about I go halves with you, I just want to do something to show my appreciation for your service" and so I have it, thanks to this kind man….
I recently got a USB camera, so theres some up close shots too, in hand the colour on the back is silver….im still getting used the USB camera!!!
