Hi Guys,
Thought I’d share this buckle with you all. It’s a relic SS Buckle found in Karelia. I assume it will be from the SS Nord as they were the only unit in Karelia (Correct me if I’m wrong(?)). Pretty beat up but nice none the less. A collector on Facebook sent it me a few years ago when I’d first started collecting (Was 15 then, 18 now) and once I’ve been collecting a while I’ll do the same and pass it onto a young lad just starting out.

Apologies I couldn’t give a bigger description of the item as I’m not very clued up on buckles, just hope you enjoy.
Kindest Regards,
Harvey

On a brighter note,
I was recently able to add this nice example to my K&Q collection of would badges.
This one bears the small maker mark.

wow did my first posting and I get messages directing me that caps are not necessary and that photos are helpful(after explaining why I did not use photos) and last but not lease— my first listing should be a introductory post for approval. Really ? Seriously? After paying, you guys have the Gaul to tell me I need to be approved. Sorry to get your panties in a bunch— oh wait "please and thank you are appreciated"—— silly me– lets just put it this way **** you—-I dont belong here— sorry and good bye keep the money and buy some tampax since your all in need

Picked up another two Vietnam era Zippo’s. Bringing my collection to three.

One is your typical example engraved to Sgt Lake, aka "Chilly". He added a less than politically correct phrase on the back that would not be acceptable today but certainly highlights the views and emotions of the era. This one has 3 dashes preceding the Zippo logo followed by two dashes, indicating it is a 1969 manufacturer.

The next one is what I think is a very cool piece. Engraved with Air America on the front and Air Vietnam on the back. From what I can tell from the dot’s on the bottom it is dated to 1962. So quite early. For those who are not familiar, Air America was an American passenger and cargo airline established in 1946 and covertly owned and operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 1950 to 1976. It supplied and supported covert operations in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.
