Militaria and WW2 history forum and topsites. Sõja ajaloo portaal.
You may have noticed that I’ve been out of the collecting community for a while.
That’s because I’ve been focused on my new business venture… The Toy Box! (The Toy Box)
I’m in no way promoting it on this forum but in short its a subscription box bringing nostalgic toys to customers. Customers can subscribe monthly to this service or make a one-off purchase. There’s currently three boxes; the 80s box, 90/2000s box and Girls 90/2000s box and each box contains a video game, action figure, trading cards, comic and some misc. items.
This new venture has been fairly successful; however, I was considering expanding the service to the militaria market - my true passion.
This idea is in its infancy but I was just putting it out there to see what the general response and feeling towards this idea is…
So here it is!
Theres two boxes an Imperial German (WW1/pre WW1 era) and a Third Reich (WW2/1933-45) one. A box will include 10 postcards/photographs (value - £15-20), a medal/badge (value - £15-20), x2 misc items e.g. documents, field gear, ribbon bars etc. etc. (£5-10 each). Total value will be £40 - £60.
The main selling point of this is that that contents will be worth more than the purchase price, its a nice surprise each month and adds some extra passion into collecting.
So I was thinking about pricing these boxes at £30.00 each including postage (within UK).
Items will be nicely dispatched in a custom made brown envelope or box with leaflet etc so would also make a nice gift for a special someone.
I’d love some feedback to hear what you think about it?
Thank you, Glen

Yesterday I received this Verwundetenabzeichen in schwarz. No doubts about it being authentic, but it has some corrosion on the obverse wich makes me think it could be a relic. On the reverse there is some rust. I was wondering if someone has some advice about how I can treat it to remove the rust. Or maybe I should just leave it as it is?
Thank you very much.
Regards, Rik

So, I was wondering if this one exhibits a more original finish to what all of them looked like when new, or if the blackening is simply some sort of patina as I’ve suspected up until tonight?
Thanks for the thoughts as I seek to know a little more about these little shields.
