This wing (very, very rare I might add) was just sold at auction for $1800+. The seller posted about 8 bogus wings and this one was in the mix. At first when I saw it, I was looking at it with great suspicion and trying to pick it apart. However, with the input of Major Morris and Cliff P., I realized that I was indeed looking at an original wing. It is easy to see something with "tainted" eyes when 99% of the sellers items are blatantly bogus…:rolleyes:
This example was made by Dreher & Son…and is quite beautiful in my opinion. So who got it? Don’t hold back, I WILL find out! cool militaria
Hello! I wonder if this peace is good or bad. I have seem it out for auction . It´s probably a fake because of the rareness of the originals.
But it would be very kind of you to tell me what gives it away.
Hi,
As there is a thread regarding piper mullin,s death by big Ned, i thought i would let you know his funeral was this afternoon. It was conducted at Exeter, with honors from the Royal British legion guard and many friends and family. Bill mullin passed away aged 88, in his dawlish nursing home; He once said that he met the german officer in charge of that part of normandy years later, and said why didnt your men shoot me ?, The officer replied Dummkoft, Bill said they thought i was mad.
He will be remembered for generations to come. R.I.P Bill.

I know , no pic's, but I finally bought a Korean war era? shooting jacket, it's in perfect shape & has 9 patches sewn on it from shooting competions, starting from 1953 untill 1960 the rest have no dates. most are army matches, 1 from the NRA, 1 from the state of Maryland. I'm so happy, because I have only seen 3 before & I bought the best one, just wish I had some history on the owner. he must have been a sniper.:) not a bad deal got it for way less than 100.00 dollars.cool militaria

I have recently come into possesion of a WW2 German Grave Stone.
Background:
German pal says he has access to said item and that it is to be detroyed/removed.
I could not say no but what to do with such an item, it can not be used as a grave marker in its current state and I understand if buried privately by the family normal rules apply in Germany and that is if left untended or not re-rented the plot is ‘recyled’. Would the German graves commision re-enstate his grave in a private cemetary or is this not done?
My guess is the soldier died early as indicated by the date and the family have shipped him back home privately and hand him buried localy but that in so doing have now condemed him to anonimity?
