Dave,

If I have been out of order in any of this then I will apologise, and restrict my commentary to issues of interest and value to the collecting community.

Rob NL - I have re-read your input regarding people wanting you to show your choice items, and I realise that I misinterpreted what it was you were saying. So I apologise for my misleading answer.

Do not be put off from displaying selected pieces, just because I had a heated debate with some other distinguished members of this community. This site has some fantastic members, and is a brilliant tool for exchanging information. There are guys out there who are true specialists in their own disciplines, whether or not it be markings on Police Bayonets, or variations on Customs Daggers, etc. etc. They are all out there, and the bulk of them will be willing to guide you. So do not lose heart - this is still a place learn from people who know much more.

As for this thread about the NSKK High Leader, well I think I have stated as much as I can - and if my view is unpopular, then so be it. I cannot change my sincerely held view just to become a "nice guy".

So, Jason, and Houston, and Gailen, shall we shake hands - instead of shaking fists?
