An old friend (who passed away recently) has a German helmet in his garage somewhere. Original too. and some badges and stuff. Anyway, that’s not what I want to make you all feel sick about.

At the end of the war, he collected a few daggers. SS daggers, SA daggers, Luftwaffe daggers (perhaps even HJ daggers). Postwar, his wife decided she didn’t like having them around the house for whatever reason, so they were given away…..

Do you know what an SA dagger is worth man !!!! , with an intact inscription probably a bit over $1,600 ( excuse the dollar sign , new keyboard and I can’t find the pound sign ) .:mad:

Try the Barras Market in Glasgow , there are always helmets and bits of gear for sale in there , I also spoke to a local collector and he reckons that there were thousands made so they are pretty common , I bought an SS helmet with a liner and chinstrap from the guy and it cost me $85 , I sold it to a mate ( who still has it ) for $90. You do have to watch out for fake stuff which is made in Thailand . Probably the only bit of German kit which is worth any money is an SA dagger with the Ernst Rohm inscription intact .
Is this kind of stuff hard to get in Australia ?? , there is still loads of the stuff floating around the UK .

Ow far is Lowestoft from Norwich ?? , where is the nearest airport , I suspect Ryanair will advertise flights to Norwich but the airport will be nearer to Bristol than Norwich . :p
