UBB.threads Forums Uniform & Accessories SS & SA Uniform Forum Best SS finds of 2007?

As the year draws to a close, I like to look back and remember how I did in my collecting. "Count my blessings" so to speak.

This year was pretty good to me, I think my top find was a Bevo EM TK tab & Eicke Cufftitle, But I also got a nice Flatwire runic tab, and I just picked up bullion NCO TK tab I was after for at least 10 years.

There are still things out there I am chasing, but that's what makes it all the more fun when you land a special item!

What were your best SS finds of the past year?

I got a few things this past year; however, none of them were SS so I won't post them here. I have a line on a couple of pieces early next year.

Here's mine. A Robert Klass NCO Degen with motto.
A very rare maker for this sword, bought from Lakeside Trader, originating from T. Wittmann. Sadly, was not included in his book.

Wooooooooow, all of these are really great documents.

Here's one more piece I picked up. A nice SS Allach Foxl.

A friend of mine emailed me and attached this picture. How rare is a Waffen-SS veterinarian tunic? From the picture I can see that the shoulder boards are Army type, which would be typical of early war. They have a gilt pip and gilt snake cipher. The cuffband is a aluminum flat wire Deutschland in Gothic. What do you think of this?

WHAT ELSE DO YOU GUYS HAVE?

My first SS cloth insignia that comes with an RZM tag.

Out of the wookwork Nickel chained SS.

Witht the help of a friend, I was able to pick up this little grouping out of an old collection. Definitely one of my best ss finds of 2007.
