shoulder boards, which can be found in the page
exploring Reichsmarschall
Goring’s Insignia. At the request of a fellow collector,
I’ve also updated the page A Guide
to Exploring Original vs. Repro SS Generals Collar Tabs. Evidently there has been some mis-information on the militaria
forums regarding a specific variation of SS Generals tabs that were deemed to
be fake, the so-called “pointy stem tabs”
and now that period photos have surfaced of Sepp
Dietrich (no less) wearing these variations, that rumor can be put to an
end. Of course, there ARE fakes of SS
Generals tabs which have pointy stems, just like there are fakes of SS
Generals without pointy stems, but there are indeed real pointy stems. Also please check below for links to
other recent updates. 1/2/19 Happy New Year! There will be a lot of new material
arriving over the next two months, but for now there is a small update, in

emails (or no reply), my desktop computer experienced a total failure due to
a recent Windows Update and as a result I’ve had some difficulties in
communication, in addition to the inability to update the site. Thanks for your patience! 5/8/18 Today’s updates
involves the addition of the Wafffen SS
Officer “Deutschland” tunic to the “Featured Items”
page. I’ve received a lot of inquires
about this piece, so hopefully this feature will answer some initial
questions. Additionally, I have been
working on updating numerous pages in the reference sections to add new items
and expand the overall knowledge base with more and better reference
material. This is an ongoing process,
and always has been, but I hope to be able to dedicate more time to this so
collectors have a more solid selection of items and variations to
examine. I’ve started with the
insignia pages but plan to move on to the uniforms pages and other areas as
time permits. I have plenty of ideas
and plans, it’s just a matter of getting to them.
The updates were well overdue! Thanks, as always, to the various
collectors who are always willing to lend images of their material to me to
be featured and shared with others! All of the “sold” and “hold” items are up
to date as well. Happy Hunting! Please check below for links to other

page, the Admiral von Puttkamer
grouping is explored in some detail.
After much encouragement, I’ve started a “Blog” page (found
in the A Guide To Collecting Militaria
section). With this I hope to explore
various topics that aren’t dealt with to any great detail in the reference
books, as well as addressing issues we all face in vetting our
merchandise. To kick it off I explore Kriegsmarine breast eagle placement on the blue reefer
jacket. 5/22/17 All unsold items from the 4/13/17 New

Items page. 5/25/16 No new updates today, just a quick note about
being offline for two weeks. The
webhost provider I was using had a massive failure of the server my site was
hosted upon. Unbelievably, especially
when you consider they are in the technology business, this webhost (Arvixe) had no back-up!
Nor did they even bother to alert me about the problem. Needless to say, it has been a
frustrating experience and the results of course are that many customers,
friends and associates were wondering where my site went and whether I had
gone out of business. After two weeks
being offline I was beginning to wonder myself! I am now with a new webhost (the THIRD one
in the last two years), which is a larger firm who should (better) have
backup when needed. In the meantime, thanks for checking back
(and to those who checked in by phone) and I hope to have some new updates in
the coming weeks. 4/29/16 All of the items previously unlisted are
now fully published for review, to include; A lot of new headgear pieces, to include
a number of crushers, all of which can be found in the Headgear
page. An SS Trumpet Banner, which can be found
in the Exotic page. A couple of new uniform items in the Uniforms
page. A few pieces of new insignia in the Insignia
page and the Generals Militaria
page. 4/1/16 There are quite a few new pieces of
headgear that are now available, including a couple of Heer
Generals visor as well as a number or crushers, all of which have thumbnail
photos that can be viewed in the “New Unlisted
Items” page.
Full listings will be available sometime next week. 3/25/16 A couple of new uniform items are in the “New Unlisted
Items” page and many of the items previously
shown on there are now individually listed in the respective sections to include,
General officer insignia and Tunic in the Generals
Militaria page and a few more exotic pieces in the Premium page. 2/25/16 Having just returned from the Show Of
Shows there are a few new items that were picked up and will soon be listed,
some of which are highlighted on the “New Unlisted
Items” page, including some very rare, high end
pieces such as a DE Standard
and Collar Tabs for a Generalfeldmarschall. More items will be posted in the coming
days. If you haven’t had a chance to check it
out yet, please visit my latest reference project which is a page devoted to Exploring
the Variations of Heer General’s Collar Tab
Insignia, in which I outline some of the various
original collar tabs that were used during the war using comparisons of
period photos and examples from contemporary collections. This year my plan is to continue expansion
of the reference area and document as many variations and odd, non-regulation
uses of insignia, uniforms and headgear.
I’m always looking for photographic contributions so if you have
anything that you think would help towards this project, please by all means contact me. 2/6/16 Today’s update is to the reference
section and is a project I’ve been working on for some time, and which I plan
to expand upon regularly as I come across new additions. It is a page devoted to Exploring
the Variations of Heer General’s Collar Tab
Insignia, in which by using period photos along
with examples from collections and museums I verify some of the variations
that exist in General’s collar tabs.
In the future I also plan on producing similar pages for Luftwaffe
General’s collar insignia. There is already a page devoted to SS and Police
Generals collar insignia, which was so consistent that there is little to no
variation, and can be reviewed in the SS
Generals Tabs; Exploring the Repros versus
Originals page, so please also visit that page if
you’ve never seen it before. 1/26/16 Happy New Year to everyone! Nothing new of note today, just doing a
little site maintenance and cleaning up a few pages. I’ve been at work on some new reference
pages, which I hope to start launching soon.
The first will examine variations on Heer
Generals collar tab designs, using period photographs as well as original
examples. I plan to follow this with an exploration of Luft
General tabs as well. 12/28/15 With all of the holidays both here in the
U.S. and abroad, things have been rather slow in the collecting world, as you’ve
probably noticed while scanning the internet.
But after all, it’s the season for giving to others, and collecting is
about giving to yourself! Anyway, todays
listings include only a few new items in my New Unlisted Items page. I do know of a number of new and exciting
pieces that will be surfacing in the next couple months prior to the SOS, so
keep checking in! 11/4/15 Todays
listings include only a few new items in my New Unlisted Items page. All of the items I previously had listed in
that category (that didn’t already sell) are now fully listed in their
respective categories. You can see the
list in the previous update below. I also have started a new page, U.S. Militaria.
At present, there isn’t a whole lot listed, but I do have quite a
number of documents and signed photos that I’ll be listing very soon and it
seems there is always a lot of U.S. militaria
flowing in here (which I’ve previously sold through other venues), so I plan
to regularly update that section in addition to all of the German items. 10/8/15 Todays
listings include a quick update in my “New Unlisted Items” page.; Waffen

section, as I have added a page on the Admiral Karl Jesko von Puttkamer uniform
grouping to the Rare
and Unique High Ranking Personality Groups page. This is a great example of the rare, fully
documented pieces that are still out there in long-held collections. I was fortunate enough to help one of my
customers acquire this fantastic grouping and provide it a new home, and now
you all can enjoy it via the detailed photos on the page. 6/5/15 As some of you may have noticed, the
website was down for a few days this week.
The firm that hosts my website had the drive crash and no back-up, so
both the site and my email was down. Things are now back up (obviously) but I am
checking into a new webhost so next week there is a chance the site will be
down temporarily again as the switch to the new host is made. Your patience with these technical issues
and changes is appreciated. 5/27/15 I have had quite a bit of new consignment

week and want to thank everyone who came by to say hello. It’s always a pleasure meeting in-person
collectors I’ve dealt with over the internet, which is one of the greater
aspects of doing the show every year.
For those of you who never go to shows I strongly urge you to attend
the SOS at least once, as it’s always a great opportunity to meet and network
with other collectors as well as handle material in person. I have a lot of plans for updating the
reference side of the website this year.
The sales end of the site keeps the doors open and the lights turned
on, but the reference area is an aspect I truly enjoy and from the feedback I
get many of you value what I’ve put together.
It’s not perfect, but the great thing about websites is that they can
easily be updated and errors or omissions corrected….something you can’t do
with books! At any rate, I’ve compiled
hundreds of pictures and contributions from my research as well as that of
others and will be doing a little editing and upgrading, a process long due
in some areas. Last but not least, I have an update to
the website today for new items that have come in over the past few
weeks. The full listings are not yet
available, but you can see thumbnails on the New Unlisted Items page. Some very rare and very nice pieces! 2/8/15 Hello, and welcome to 2015. It looks like a good year shaping up, as
there is a lot of militaria
starting to come out of some advanced collections, which I hope to offer over
the course of the year. As always, if there are specific things you are
looking for, please feel free to contact me as there is always quite a bit of
stuff that passes through my hands and is never listed on the website. Also, thanks for bearing with me on the
late update. As some of you know I had
to deal with a health related issue in January which slowed down my ability to
keep up with the business, but I’m back in action and looking forward to the
new year as well as seeing all my friends and customers at the SOS in
Louisville later this month. There
are a number of new items in today’s update, with much more to come after the
SOS; Luftwaffe Fallschirmjaeger
Smock Luftwaffe Generals Visor All of which are listed in the Premium Militaria section. Kreigsmarine
