Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye!! Back in November 2011, I mentioned I was on a quest for something really big and perhaps would have a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity. When I met with our financial consultant and told him of this possible acquisition, there was a big pause and he said "Are you serious?". Well I was, and although I knew there was a distinct possibility we wouldn't get what we were after, it happened. I am sure you were all anxious to see what one-of-a-kind relic from Der Fuhrer I was after, but this time the purchase was for my 'other' hobby... And so, if you have a few minutes and wish to share in our enthusiasm, please make it a point to revisit our other website www.88mphtimemachine.com and check out what we purchased. Here is
a direct link to our most recent activity 88mphtimemachine.com/index.php/fun-activities
scroll down. We've also just posted this video on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9amVWm3RZk We hope you'll enjoy your visit! |
You know we are always busy updating the site with 'new' goodies for you, but in
recent months we've also been 'updating' our photography! As you may have
noticed, many of the items have been re-photographed and **WOW** what a
difference! We've hired a professional photographer (and fellow
collector!) who has spent countless hours on this task so if you haven't checked
out the new pictures, give them a second look ~ you'll be impressed!
In order to make it easier to find exactly what you are looking for, we have separated the Miscellaneous & Specialty Items section into categories:
Adolf Hitler Personality Items Allach Porcelain Exotic Items German Chaplain's Items German Porcelain Dinnerware Gorgets Metal Insignia for Headgear Metal Insignia for Tunics Miscellaneous/Specialty Items Photo Albums Rings Third Reich Rubber Stamps

Ruptured Duck Note: The following is a nice selection of Army and Luftwaffe “Schutzen Abzeichen” - Marksmanship Award [Lanyards]. I have various levels available. All the Army lanyards have the same plaited, semi-brite aluminum cord construction, with a narrow strip of pale grey rayon as a backing. The top of the braids flatten out to form a disk shape. The backing on this is an oval of field grey wool cloth (fliegerblau for LW). A metal alloy shield, or an oval, open-faced oak leaf wreath (depending on level) is affixed to the disk. Acorns woven in metallic aluminum thread were attached to the bottom of the lanyard cord, to represent successive awards; and after the 4th level, the metal shield design was replaced by an open-faced oak leaf wreath with eagle, shield, and crossed swords. All the cords are in good to very good condition, with clean front sides. The Luftwaffe cords are similar, but made of a dark grey braid material crossed by thin, zig-zag lines in aluminum thread. The metal insignia is open-faced oval wreath pattern but with a Luftwaffe eagle. The small acorns are metal, attached with a black cord.

AMAZING Collection of Third Reich Rubber Stamps, all gathered up by one
United States Army Veteran who was in the “military government” after the
war ended. This Officer had a free hand to travel around Germany in the course
of carrying out his duties. He spent a good amount of time in Bavaria in and
around the Berchestgaden area. This is where he accumulated some of this
impressive collection. We will supply the name of the Veteran to any buyer of
one or more of these items, and include a document to this effect with every
stamp purchased.

The following listings represent the most extensive grouping of Military Chaplain’s items to be offered on the internet at one time. Dr. Chris Liontas spent many years collecting these items, several of which appear in the acclaimed reference by Mark Hayden entitled German Military Chaplains in WWII (available for purchase from our site BK-86 ). These items are eagerly sought after because they are scarce and hold a definite intrigue.
