Greg Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 since this place is dead lately (no offense though!) lets ask... what are you on the hunt for to add to the collection in 2008? For me it is Imperial German sword bayonets. I'm looking for a S98 aA or NA with scabbard mainly. Sawback bayonets too in any and all quantity :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 For me I'm looking for a nice set of Panzer headphones with throat mikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I would quite like; 1) Military General Service Medal with Clasps 'Egypt', 'Guadaloupe' & 'Martinique' to the 25th Foot. 2) Naval General Service Medal to the 25th Foot - there are 3 of them out there!!!! 3) Any Victorian Campaign/LS&GC combination to the 25th Foot. 4) Canada General Service Medal with Clasp 'Fenian Raid 1866' to the 25th Foot. It's not much to ask for is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 well the list is long but some Hitler youth uniforms or anything from the Graf Spee or Bismark would be good. Trouble is with collecting King and country I miss out on the real stuff and always worried about fakes. Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlespaul Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 pretty much any sort of optic device. Telescopes, periscopes, telescopic sights, rangefinders, etc. are my specialty and I enjoy helping identify stuff for collectors as it helps me with my own research work. I tend to stay away from handheld traditional binos (like dienstglas) as they are already heavily researched. Im more into the obscure stuff or items related to fire control and direction. Bring on those optics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi mlespaul, welcome to the forum we've had a lot of strange optical items over the years which we could not identify ,next unusual optic we get in you will be the first to know. any chance of posting some pics of your more unusual items?

jager 152 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Why not put the DDR wish list on the back burner, (Better still on the front burner), and substitute just one decent historic, well crafted piece of equivalent value ? Hey, I'm back on my knackered old hobby horse ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jager 152 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 And my wish list ? A good Imperial German court mounted medal group including an 1870 Iron cross with a oak leaf. Guess I may have to go Down to the Crossroads at midnight and negotiate with Old Nick for that one ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
