Lets see a pic of something unique or rare that you own.

I came across a similar thread on another forum and it was pretty interesting to see some of the stuff people have.

I have a couple other things that I will add later but here is a congratulations note I received from the White House to kick things off.

I will play, here is a hat I found in an antique store for $50. I have only seen one other for sale in 8 years of collecting WW2 military on the web for sale at $8,300. It belonged to an officer and still has his name in the hat. I do not condone what the Nazi's did. I collect this for the value.

Here are my notes from my military forums

this cap is as rare as hens teeth and I would personally but an estimate on this cap between $4000 to $5000, and that would be a conservative estimate. I would suggest you get on to one of the big dealer with this one, like kai winkler et al

This cap is from the Einsatzstab Reichs Minister Rosenberg this organization would go around the occupied east and steel art or should I say liberate. You do realize that this cap is probably only the second one in existence and you were damn lucky to find it in an antique shop.

I must say if I could afford this cap I would jump on it in a second. A wonderful, exceptional beauty.

This cap is illustrated in the book In The Service Of The Reich by Angolia page 206 through to page 213. Here are a couple of shots from the book. Note the collar patches.

In terms of rarity I am pretty sure yours is right up there with a white summer Alg. SS. So how does it feel to own a Holy Grail of visor collecting?

These caps didn't come out until September 1942 at the earliest.

Rare to see leather sb's on these red-inked Schellenbergs:

Ill have to take a picture of it later to post but I have Edward Elric's (From Fullmetal Alchemist) red coat that was custom made for me that his voice actor Vic Mignogna autographed the day I met him. It was the first Ed Elric coat he had ever signed and he even put it on and hugged me for a pic. Its probably my one and only unique thing.

Here's the pic from ACEN 2008 of Vic wearing the coat and hugging me.

The Nazi officer's cover reminded me I had this. My great uncle gave it to me about 15 years ago. I doubt it is worth anything but it is crazy to hold it in your hand and think about where that coin has been.

It is cool to have. They really aren't work anything, but it's fun to watch eBay posts of thing people have and how much they think it's worth. I have a collection of SA daggers as well. I have a lot of other stuff....

Here is a link to my daggers. On the left of the screen you will see the word "daggers" underit are the individual daggers I own.

I have an SA dagger but its not as in good of a condition as yours.

How about one of da Grump's shirts, complete with vintage grease still on the sleeves?

Does this count? Its a work in progress that should be done in a few months.

Yes. I have the motors and have been working on building the electrical components to make it move, make noise and light up.

You can see the complete build up to this point here: http://s3.beta.photobucket.com/user/...yan/story/9033
