So what is your favorite TR item that you own? I think it will be interesting to see what people say....

Are you asking about 3rd Reich items in general or specifically the armband?

My favourite Third Reich item is my period photo of Hitler and Blomberg, dated 1934, signed and dedicated by Adolf Hitler. My next is Berghof postcard signed by Eva Braun and given to SS General Heinrich Jurs......I no longer own any brassards, cheers and regards, Ryan

Hard to say on that one.I really like the daggers that I have, especially the chained nskk, dip and the rad leaders.I have also kept some medals, helmets,etc. I also have three Imperial Damascus swords, they are great.I have no idea why they never continued that practice during the third reich,hardly any engraved swords also.

Kyles:

I do not have a lot of armbands or other cloth, but here is my favourite, A Rikshird armband. The Rikshird were the equivalent of the SA in Norway during the TR era.

No real favorite, but some I prize over others. A complete set of SS boxed service medals, Rohm, Himmler and SS honor dagger, SS evening dress badge, SS proficiency badge, very early SS officer sword with initials on the pommel, presented 1936 SS dagger, several helmets, SS panzer wrap, SS assault gunner wrap. Impossible to pick a favorite.

Don't know how the word armband ended up in there lol. If an admin could edit it out. Some great items guys! To Gaspare, the ocean is a powerful thing and a shame that Sandy took place to begin with. Any photos of the tunic? Sounds nice and interesting that the shield is attached by snaps. If the post can't be edited then any items are allowed to be posted. Love the wooden eagle though! Sorry I didn't see your post originally Tanker. Didn't even see that you posted when I made this!!!
