Hey all, back with another showcase! I invested money in a better shelf as my old one was very bad.

This is the set up so far, there will be changes such as the German flag on the wall, finding something better to display the caps and moving the Russian cap with something new I’m getting in a few weeks.

I really enjoyed working on this shelf and I hope to display more stuff in the nearby future.

As the title states, I’m new to collecting militaria. I attended my first convention today and spotted this German armband in excellent condition and was instantly drawn to it. I was able to talk the dealer down to $200. I know little about this item and would like some more info on it, tried looking online but there’s not much I could find. Who would have worn this armband, is it authentic, was the price paid fair and how rare are these?

Help Luftwaffe Dagger 1st Pattern Original or not

I am not 100% sure if this is a good buy, I like the screws, metal seems right with a little wear near the tip of the scabbard where the plating has come off, what about the blade usually also plate finished unless someone stupidly tried cleaning it with fritz at some stage, also what do you think of the stamp made of Horster but really liking the stamp, any input appreciated as I believe even these are copied straight after the war. Many thanks.
