Re: Unexpected finds
i found a mint condition pair of kriegsmarine binos in their case '42 dated in a little antique shop in leeds
the guy said they are a nice pair of binos, quite powerful.
he was asking 28 quid for them but he let me have them for 25.
money out of pocket so fast it left blisters and scorching to my hand!!!!!!!!
my micky once found an original dated gasmask and tin.(mint condition!!!!!!!!!!)...in the bushes outside a post office in marl(germany)

Re: Unexpected finds
Some great finds so far. You would have thought after 14 years in the Antique business I would have picked up something. So far siltch 
One dealer did give me an original party badge that was missing the pin but I've not really spotted anything myself. What I do find costs a fortune. Last week a K98 bayonet, no matching numbers went at auction for over £60.00 "To a New Yorker like you a Hero is some sort of wierd sandwich"
Re: Unexpected finds
K98 Bayonet and scabbard matching numbers off ebay for £16.00
Horndean show original HJ Badge £2.50

And that boys is how you take a penalty.
Re: Unexpected finds
In the early 80's up in Leeds at a fancy dress shop I picked up a pre war pair of BD trousers ('37 pat) with a medical discharge chit in the first field dressing pocket for a Sgt dated 1945 for £6, I nearly ripped the shop owners arm off!
From the same place a 1956 dated Brit PARA helmet for £6 as well!
I also aquired x1 Heeres (dated 1933) and x1 Luftwaffe (dated 1937) lockers out in Bielefeld recently all the bloke wanted was 2 lockers so I got hold of x2 Brit Army 1970's lockers and did a straight swap!
My Grandpa gave me an Irvin flying jacket he had in his cellar back in the early 80's, I sold it for £35 DOH!
Cheers,
Mark.
