    marcsignal,

    I am always careful with SS and SA material, but particularly with SS. If you could make pictures also of the background of each of these items I may be able to tell you more about originality.

    will do, I'll have more time next week to photograph them properly, however these items are, I understand, from my sisters father in law (now dead) who served in the 'Germania and 'Wiking' Divisions.

    Very interesting and as I said in the other thread: it can't get any better than having items straight from the family as their originality is, in the majority of cases, guaranteed. :)

    I'm in college now, so for some reason I cant see the pictures (college has the photohoster blocked :mad:) I presume the number plates are off vechicles?

    I was just thinking, but is there any way to look up those numbers to see what vechicle it belonged to (and thus where it might have been?) Surely there were records kept?

    Hi CB,

    yes, the pics shows a vehicle reg. These registrations are outside my field of collection. So I cannot say anything about originality etc. about these but would be happy to post pics about items that anyone might be interested in on one of the German speaking collector's sites.
