I own zero fakes. I have been collecting long eneogh (almost 20 years) to know what to look for. I have studied all the stuff in the many books and archives I have.
Here is the next set of pics. This is a Luftwaffe Officers tropical tunic from the N. African theatre, which is designated by a Afrika cuff title on the sleave. The rank is a Leutnant. The uniform is from a FLAK officer and that is annotated by the Luftwaffe FLAK Badge. The wearer also was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class, which is designated by the wear of the black, white and red ribbon (the same ribbon that is shown in the picture of my Iron Cross 2. Class that I recieved today) attached to the 2nd button.
This was actually the first tunic that I bought. I bought it about 15 years ago.

i saw a medel of a 88mm gun is that the luftwaffe aa commander thing on something?
Great stuff fellas! Do you have any RK in your collection?
Are you sure that first dagger was taken at the Battle of the Bulge?
Oh I am not doubting your story. There were SA personel up to 1945, they were just not combat troops. Actually they never were. They were always political cronies of the NSDAP.
Just a quick update. I eventually got in touch with my late friend's widow; unfortunately, she has nothing left, it was all GIVEN away to museums! However, an ex-army friend, who's mother was in the Luftwaffe during the war, used to have a collection of nice Luftwaffe/Wehrmacht/SS pieces, which he sold when he was broke. BUT, he thinks he may have some small 'bits and pieces' stashed away, and he's going to look when he gets a chance. The problem is, he's a 'hoarder', and you can't move in his four-bedroomed house due to all the stuff he has piled everywhere; example, a bath in his lounge, which is filled with books, magazines etc!!
The other news is, I should be getting a series of photographs of the armoury I mentioned, after the last Saturday of this month, when my colleague can gain access. I'll keep you all posted.
Terry.
