Thanks! I wonder how he lost it in a bar fight? Whoever picked that Mutter's Kreuz would have been very lucky...

It's always nice to look at these German medals. But from time to time, we still have to look more closely at our wallets! hahaha These are quite an expensive collections!

ritchieritz In reply to Strnm [2011-03-12 22:20:17 +0000 UTC]

That's true, I payed 75 euros for my golden mother cross with box! Thats a lot of money! Sometimes I spend like 200 euros a month on militaria stuff.

Strnm In reply to ritchieritz [2011-03-12 22:36:25 +0000 UTC]

I have these collections for more than 10 years now. I also have some iron crosses that I will post later on. The price then is not that expensive compare nowadays. But the prices THEN is already considered high! I have already stop looking/collecting these German memorabilia for the high cost and for the reason that I already have enough. But sometimes, these collecting things is so addicting! Can't stop and can't help it. So, I went into 1/6th figures to keep my mind off. Unfortunately, this is also very addicting. After customizing 2 to 3, you still would want to do some more!

hahaha Even today, I still don't know why these German items and even German 1/6th figures are so appealing. Maybe I have watched too many war movies when growing up!

I am only a starter, collecting for 10 years also, but always been low on budget. Only seriously busy with collecting since September or so. There are still some things I want, especially some Hitlerjugend things, Dutch national socialist thingies and Legion Condor stuffs. And I can't agree more with you, this hobby is waaaaay to addicting. Sometimes I walk out the door and tell myself "Ok, you are only going to spend 15 euro. Nothing more.". And when I come home someone else has got my 100 euro. LOL.

haha i think we have the same wave length! i also try stopping myself from looking at these online military store before, but it was futile. only now that i finally was able to stop myself when i looked around my collections and said " what was i thinking when i was buying all these things!" haha

well good luck to your collecting and i wish you will never said the same thing i said after 10 years!

btw, check this out.. very impressive helmet collections from another collector [link]

Schön anzusehen,

und wertloser plunder dazu.
Kriegsverdienstorden mit und Ohne Schwerter.
Sowie die Verdienstmedallie 1939
Und Noch die Mutterkreuze in bronze silber gold.
Achja und der kriegsteilnehmer orden aus dem ersten weltkrieg.

schön anzusehen doch eigentlich wertlos
schätzpreiswert circa 300 euro

A small Part. Okay, i hope i can see the rest of your Collection.
I see you have nice figures in your Galerie, good good.

Did you collect Daggers to, or Uniforms and so on.
Or only Orden and Effects.

Strnm In reply to McLeach [2011-03-12 22:19:15 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I also collect some ww2 daggers. I have 2 k98 bayonets too. Uniforms? Only postwar German uniforms.

Excause me, my english is not so good.

Strnm In reply to McLeach [2011-03-12 23:01:18 +0000 UTC]

It's ok, your english is good. My german's none, except only for the words "danke","Ich liebe Dich"( my german friends say, this is useful for the ladies! ) and "seig heil!" ( no offense intended). I just used google transation to understand what you're been trying to say! And I doubt whether google is doing a good job in trying to translate your messages. Maybe an enigma machine could do better! haha

Actually, there's only a few of us here. Maybe in my place, I'm the only one collecting Germans. Mostly Americans and Japaneses items are collected here since we used to be under America and we were invaded before by the Japanese...

How did you come to this Hobby.

Yes Google Translater helps me a lot to understand the navigation on this site to.
Whats the Price for the Figurs in your Country.
in germany those Figurs were 45 - 80 Euro.
Very much Money.
i think for 150 Euro you can buy a K98.
so its a hard price for the figures in my country.

Strnm In reply to McLeach [2011-03-12 23:29:36 +0000 UTC]

"How did you come to this Hobby. "

growing up and watching all those war movies may have created in me the admiration of your soldats. while others kids used to play cowboys and indians, i remember playing with my friends germans and americans soldiers with fashioned cardboard boxes as german helmets! during ww2 to be honest, who's the best dressed soldiers? with great helmet and medals design, i think it's the german.

figures in my country cost about 5 to 6 thousand pisos. and that's the latest boxset cost. that's about 80 to 100 euro. but i don't usually buy boxset figures. i just bought parts of it like the uniforms, ammo pouches, medals, guns, helmet separately and customized/assembled it into one figure. lots of work than buying one in a boxset but it's quite cheaper and enjoyable.

150 euro for a k98? that's a good price! wish i have a k98, only got a mundlos k98 bayonet.

The Helmet Collection are very very good.

These collection i see only in the market in the near of her.
[link]

you see a few people sell big collections like that
Perhaps you can buy in kremes.de something to.

Yes if i wear a little boy we only play war
with figurs
or we are playing togther.
with wood rifels
Germans VS Americans or Sowjets.

And this was the only game we have.

i like it ^^


You can buy cheaper K98 from Argentinia for 115

A lot of Lands have after the war build the K98.
And now we can buy it.
K98 from Spanish, Croatia, Argentinia.
Or Austrian karabiner, the austrians have other inches between the german ons.
so the austrians are cheaper 150 euro to.

wow! i have never been to a place like that selling third reich items! if ever i will be there, i would surely leave my wallet behind. for sure, i could be spending a lot of money which i will regret later on! lol great link, thanks.

in my area, unlike europe or certain parts of south america, k98 is non-existent. maybe some very private collector. but i haven't seen a k98 here or seen a real one in my life. also, even if i could order it online, i will have a problem receiving this especially considering that this is a rifle. i might be charged with gun smuggling which is a very high crime here.

btw, medals on the links have their swastika covered, is this really how strict your government concerning swaztika symbols? even medals for display should have the swastika covered?

Ich seh' darin einfach keinen Sinn, wie gesagt, Klugscheißer-Selbstgespräch.

Wär dann aber auch interessant zu wissen, warum man auf einer Amerikanischen Webseite angemeldet ist, wenn man sich nicht ordentlich mit den Usern unterhalten will.

Vorallem, wenn man dann doch selbst viele Schreibfehler macht (nicht, dass ich selbst keine mache, aber ich "geb nicht mit meiner Sprache an". )

Diese Seite ist aus USA, ergo kommuniziert man auf welcher Sprache? Ganz genau - Englisch
Man kann nicht erwarten, dass sie sich UNS anpassen.

Mag sein, dass er weiß wovon er redet (und ja ich "kenn" ihn ein wenig), aber es sieht im Nachhinein nur wie ein Selbstgespräch aus
aka Klugscheißen für nichts.
