hi guys,

Just a bit about myself.

My name is David and i come from Kilmarnock in Scotland.

I collect CDV's and postcards of Imperial German soldiers.

I like the fact that it is not a faceless piece of metal or a bit of cloth but a picture of a real person.

A lot of my pictures a portraits that the soldier would send home to love ones and could possibly be the last picture the family would recieve before getting the dreadied telegram.

 

So join in guys and tell us a bit about yourself and what you collect and why

A little bit about myself.

I'm Stephen and i'm a Third Reichaholic.

I have a shop just round from The Treasure Bunker which is not necessarily a good thing because i always have Kenny tempting me with desirable items. :D

Glad to see the forum back!

 

I'm Greg and originally from the States but have been here in Glasgow, Scotland for 2.5 years now. I collect bayonets, mainly pre-WWII and have have nearing 100+ examples split between deep storage in the USA and here in Scotland.

 

I also study military theory (have a MLitt Degree in it) and take regular trips to Germany to study military subjects. Over there I participate with vehicle clubs to restore and maintain Soviet and DDR NVA armour and equipment, the long term project is a T-34 tank complete restoration and the short term is to learn how to drive a BAT Pioneer Tank Recovery Tractor.

Hi guys.

 

Im Euan ( ET as an optional extra ;) ) Im 16 and Im a reenactor with normandy 44. We reenact the 2nd ranger battalion and are the UKs best. We try to use only original kit and have over 24 vehicles !

 

Im in Treasure bunker a lot, but usually only buy repro german stuff. Im intrested in ww2 RAF bomber command and have a Flying officer's uniform. I also like US stuff ( as you might have guessed ) and Waffen SS kit - im trying to get a cheap British Freekorp impression going at the moment.

 

Im looking forward to chatting about Militaria !

Welcome in Euan, look forward to your knowledge and experiences of the reenacting side of things. Vehicles are fun, I belong to a group in Germany with former Cold War Soviet Armour and Heavy Engineering/Transport vehicles/tanks/etc.

I'm moving into imperial wound badges... WWI mainly because bayonets are too expensive at the moment and wound badges are out there at fair prices :) market economics of collecting :P
