I gotta apologize guys, I had not done my proper research.
As rare as it is, and as " combat SS" as it is, it does have a fair price point.
It is time consuming to determine a fair and proper price. Initial searching showed a super inflated value, so I REVISED IT DOWNWARD, By just over $2,000 less!
It can take hours, as everybody hides their former prices with SOLD!
So I had to do a very long dive to find real pricing, using estimating for many similar originals, and eventually getting an accurate and fair price .
You are INVESTING in an ORIGINAL in great condition, So your bet should be on items fairly priced.
A Mint Waffen SS Field Cap Rare Embroidered Trapezoid is nothing to sneeze at!
From an estate collection just broken up and sold off last month.
Perfect un-issued condition, a textbook example, with bone buttons, keyhole chain stitched buttonholes, and under flap tabs.
See the very detailed photos.
This is a mint Bevo pattern Westland cufftitle, issued to Belgian formations in the Waffen-SS. Westland was a premier regiment of the Wiking Panzer division, with much combat in Russia during its career.
This is an example of a fairly rare cufftitle, referred to as the Bevo-Like weave. These are often described as for officer use, as many were made in this style, exclusively for Officers. This cuffband is full length with raw ends, and excellent plus condition. A must have for any serious Waffen SS insignia collection.
EXACTLY as the Veteran brought it back as his war souvenir.
A beautiful NAZI Officer's Army dagger, manufactured by Eickhorn.
It is in great condition . This has not been prettied up in any way by me. Right out of the box in the closet
I am certain a little effort by the new owner would improve the cosmetics, but disturbing or removing its unaltered state, is something I will not attempt. That is for the new owner to decide.
The Blade is in great shape with very light signs of its 70-80 years of age. not rusty or pitted! The blade has no No plating loss.
Eickhorn's Crossguard, has the best looking eagle of any HEER Army Officer dagger in my estimation.
The Fittings show some very light handling age. The correct early Eickhorn scabbard is in very fine condition, with no "Ugly "train car" dents or seriously distracting issues.
The Silver plated finish remains uncleaned , and shows a very light patina .
Nice undamaged Ivoroid grip / handle, with no chips or cracks lik
During the Era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire this helmet, marked BGB was manufactured, and is a classic example of the production during the WW1 imperial period.
It retains in amazing condition its Original factory painted finish, and its original Factory applied Leather Lining in fabulous condition with undamaged chinstrap assembly.
During the era of the Nazi's rule, As the expansion of manpower in Hitler's military Helmets became more difficult to source and earlier patterns were soon used up. Surviving helmets of these styles, were sourced and purchased by the fledgling ALLGEMEINE SS, who re-finished them for their own purposes.
It is incredible, even in ASTOUNDING All Original condition, for being manufactured a full CENTURY AGO !!
I have owned 2 of the 'Earth Brown' SS helmets in the distant past. And I regret letting them go. 4
Existing examples of both Early Heer, and SS transitional helmets, feature these domed rivets and chinstraps, with the only modifica

A vet estate find and untouched. It bears the initials of the owner, and shows very moderate service use overall. An excellent addition to the collection. If you fear fakes this great original, is for you.
This Heavy solid 835 Silver medallion, came from a coin collector who was set up at Denver's Mile High Flea Market.
It was issued in honor of Goring's election to be the Prime Minister, when the new NAZI Government seized power in Germany.
It Shows a profile of Goring facing to his right.
This is a very scarce commemorative, and I have only heard of one other example, in more than 50 years of collecting.
This Hermann G?ring medallion's face, has his portrait and inscription, "Ministerpr?sident Hermann G?ring" (Prime Minister Hermann Goering).
The reverse face shows the Prussian eagle and inscription, "Unser Ziel heisst Deutschland 15.9.1933 " Our goal is called Germany 09/15/1933", It is in nice condition. It has been cleaned as it is shiny and bright and shows handling.
Goring was the number 2 man in Nazi Germany and held many titles from Commander of the Reich Police organizations including the Gestapo, and Reichs Forst Minister. As well as being the head of the Luf

Never too early to learn something new!
I must credit Helmut Weitze for the following new information regarding this type.
This Wartime Luftwaffe affiliated police side cap (Schiffchen), represents a rare artifact.
Manufactured around 1943 for enlisted personnel of the Air Raid Protection Police (Luftschutz-Polizei).
It remains in near new/mint condition.
Close examination reveals the Insignia is of typical original installation for that period.
The Luftschutz-Polizei, was established as a specialized unit within the German police force, BEFORE THE WAR, but later expanded due to Allied air raids on the German Reich as an adjunct service of the Luftwaffe branch of the Wehrmacht..
In conjunction with Luftwaffe affiliated Hitler Youth Flak Helpers, and female Flak helferinnen personnel, their duties included;
protecting the civilian population during air attacks,
coordinating civilian evacuations,
firefighting,
and maintaining public order, during and after bombing rai
Here is a very fine example of a Heer M-38 combat communications Overseas Cap from my own collection.
Not dead mint, but a real beauty.
Well marked and Dated, andretains the original machine applied yellow branch soutache V on the front.
This has very little signs of its age considering it survived WW2, Bugs, Kids, Women, and 75 years!
Let me know if there is anything you need to know.

Look at the condition of this scarce tropical buckle and the price!
What is holding you back?
A mint matching pair of Fall pattern gloves matching the reversible camouflaged SS Parka/trouser sets. These are legitimate WW2 era German official production items.
These are not beat up moth eaten stained trash like is so often seen.
These were the survivors of the war up until after France, when almost all surviving Infantry enlisted ranks, got promotes to NCO.
After 1940 the base uniform color changed to field gray.
If you see something you want, let me know.
You are either serious about collection, or you are not.

It is a very scarce original !
Recoil Pad, Slip-On, Black Rubber (w/ U.S. Flaming Bomb Insignias & internal Pad Spacer)
$75.00
Manufacturer: U.S. MILITARY
Model: M1 GARAND, M14, SPRINGFIELD 1903, SPRINGFIELD 1903A3, 1903A4, M1A SPGFLD.
This rare matching pair of collar tabs is a rank unique to The Waffen and Allgemeine SS.
This pair was removed from a wartime field gray Wool tunic of the Der Fuhrer regiment which was eaten up by moths. They were likely on a formal or dress uniform previously, because at one time they were won as removable tabs.
An SS Oberfuhrer is the most senior rank of Colonel, and one rank below the SS Brigadefuhrer, the first rank of SS General.
They are perfectly matched and show very light signs of age, storage, handling and use.
The execution of the embroidery is of the very best quality level of German work.
The tabs are in great condition and have survived the last 8-9 decades well.
The reverse shows the remains of the glue from the original RZM Tag, The correct early stiffening cloth, and the embroidery base material shows, as on many early senior officer tabs.
Also note the velvet base layer, stitching and piping application.
As I mentioned these were reduced for quick sale.
Mid to late War Marked Map Case in mint condition. The sole example which I know of on this planet!
I have seen 1 pair of K.98 ammunition pouches, and a single bayonet frog made from this startlingly different leather.
Like Blue webbing gear for the Luftwaffe Afrikakorps (before 1942) This type of gear must have been either for ubungs (training) or proofungs testing and evaluation) as almost nothing made from it is circulating. I have found no mention of it on any forum or in any reference source either. So much for the big shot experts!
You might pay less somewhere, but this quality will always resell when you need to.
Crap will sit unsold and often you will have a loss, when trying to resell junk you bought cheap.
Three nice ones in 50 years and hardly another example observed.
There were few punishment battalions in the German military.
These are NOT "Eagle ground off" for post war use! No eagle ever!
Early war Aluminum by Friedrich Lauer, Wartime steel Pebbled center, and wartime steel smooth. ALL Three from different dies!
Some of the rarest buckles from WW Germany and even the buckle collectors cannot appreciate what they are because no "Cool eagle and swasisticker of them Nazis"
Collectors are confused by the mis-identification of the generic steel "Brain" industry workers buckle with no Motto, wreath or national symbol, as being for these probationary service personnel .
These are the buckle made with no National Emblem but retaining the Heer Motto, worn until reinstatement of membership in the ranks, by Military Prisoners serving sentences .
A real nice example in well preserved condition.
exact priority mail cost for USA shipping.
I see these for sale occasionally, but usually they are pretty well beat up or even repainted by someone after the war.
They usually sell up to $250 in this condition.
Often seen in original photographs but rarely found in this condition!
For a change here you have one NOT DUG out of the earth!
Roughly, 19.5cm tall, 20cm wide, 8.5cm thick, stamped sheet metal construction M36 ammo case with brazed seams features diagonally angled, top edge side panels and a fold back top lid with a riveted on, staggered bar hinge to one end and double side locking clips.

Prices are below fair market value to allow for shipping costs , but hey people, we are doing actual business, not fantasy time. Stuff costs money.

I have perhaps 50 really nice EM / NCO buckles for sale right now.
If you look around at the originals out there these days, most are really worn down and their eagle is often just an eagle shaped area of worn metal.

If however you wish to endlessly search the entire planet to try and save a few nickels, please do that first.
If you see one you might like to own, feel free to contact me for a reasonable and fair price.
Note that almost every buckle I offer, has all its eagle metal detail still present.
I find that fewer than 40% of surviving buckles are not heavily worn, So much so, the eagle appears to be only an eagle shaped scar ! Most of them are NOT even military branch buckles.

1st Cav Aviation Patch, Rare Elite Unit .....
229th Assault Helicopter Squadron out of Ahn Khe ....
http://www.vhpamuseum.org/battalions/229ahb/229ahb.shtml ..
The 229th Aviation Regiment was first constituted on 18 March 1964 into the Regular Army as the 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion and assigned to the 11th Air Assault Division at Fort Benning, Georgia. The unit was reorganized and redesignated as the 229th Aviation Battalion on 1 July 1965 and was concurrently reassigned to the 1st Calvary Division (Airmobile) in preparation for deployment to Vietnam.
The 229th Aviation Battalion fought in Vietnam for 6 years and distinguished itself in 16 major campaigns earning three Presidential Unit Citations, the Valorous Unit Award, a Meritorious Unit Commendation, 4 awards of the Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, and a Republic of Vietnam Civil Action Medal.

Not Nazi and no swastikas, so of course though extremely rare (to the point of being unique to the market), there will be zero serious interest.
I have to laugh. Still it never hurts to try and educate .......
Construction of the USS Grayback (SS-574) was authorized in 1953. Only 2 ships were built in this class, and their deployment (with Regulus Missiles!, ) was a very short years!
These patches are from the short missile related life of the first boat of that class.
Only the officers, and any crew who bought in on this custom order, would have even received any of these, and sailors most likely would not spend their pay on ship's patches.
The keel was laid 1 July 1954 Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, California and launched 2 July 1954 (Sponsored by Mrs. John J. Moore, widow of the last CO of the first Grayback) and commissioned 7 March 1958. The Grayb
