Hi, I’m a film maker from London with an interest in military history.

I thought I’d sign up as I’m interested in maybe starting a collection. I have a very small collection of shrapnel, perspex and a navigators ruler from a downed Bristol Blenheim bomber I found with a metal detector when I was much younger but would love to acquire some more substantial pieces.

I also have in my Possession a WW2 Japanese ‘Good Luck’ flag my great-grandfather took during his time in Burma that I would like to share with members to see if anyone might be able to tell me more about its origins.

Looking forward to being part of the community!

I need your opinion about this skull, to me it seems good and original, my doubt is in relation to the eyes, they seem to me a bit closed, but it can be wear and tear. This is a Jawless First Pattern “Danziger” SS Visor / Cap Skull, right?

I have a small collection of odd, dramatic, "different" and therefore IMO quite interesting U.S. WW2 vet bringbacks.

This "souvenir" ashtray apparently has an interesting history to it too. In 1945 a piece of the original fireplace in Berchtesgaden was chopped away by U.S. soldiers and later sold to the American auto parts company, ‘Weatherhead’ in Illinois. The company then decided to make a series of ashtrays in the shape of the Berchtesgaden fireplace, each with an inset section of the original marble. These were then given as ’special gifts’ by ‘Weatherhead’ to customers and VIP:s in 1946, how many no one knows…

The ashtray seems to have a solid provenance too. According to UoE this example was given to Lt.Col.B.O.Tobin of the US Army (I wonder who he was), and was later sold on to Mark D.Griffith M.D. The replica ashtray is shown on page 65 of Griffith’s publication, ‘Liberated Adolf Hitler Memorabilia.

Now I probaby only need to get Griffiths book and start smoking .

Best, Jan
