What is good for California is bad for the rest of the country!

Beauties ,,,all of them....
All money items as you can bet that H-D didn't make that buckle! A custom piece like that was probably made in multiple$. Seen the H-D cuff titles before, slightly different.. Yes the cold rainy days... Very nice to see,,thanks for posting!

Those rings are all very nice indeed. I especially like that SS. The skull with the label looks like it’s from the famous ‘hoard‘. I have a couple of those myself.
Not sure that I like the Harley Davison stuff, personally. I don‘t understand the point of it. That’s just me. Thanks for posting your treasure.

yeah weird,,,but not antisemitic.
The SS runes are used for a few bike clubs.. . The more famous [?] clubs use the runes as a code for whatever they think up,, as many clubs have been open to all Jewish, Christian etc. alike..
H-D probably throwing a fit but I'm pretty sure that buckle is old,,maybe 70s, 80s, and nothing they can do now...

Fair enough Gaspare, although I wonder about modern organisations, including biker clubs, that choose to use the symbol of such an evil organisation. There was nothing about the SS to emulate or glorify. They might have had some cool gear but they were not cool people. Sorry if it looks like I'm preaching...

no no, not a problem... When you watch the old biker movies from the 60s and 70s you will see insignia sewn on jacks etc. I used to ask them about it. The answer I got was,,'my uncle was a bad ass nazi killer'! He brought this back from the war'. Guess they thought it made them bad ass too.... The more recent bikers will use ss runes but for an 'elite' part of the group.. I know member hdmarley... He is the farthest thing from being evil or antisemitic as you can get! A collector of German regalia and old biker things! Some of my bike toys,,,[have even more]: https://forum.germandaggers.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=349748#Post349748
