My interest in German Third Reich came about as an off shoot of my Post WWII German Police insignia collecting. I had a hard enough time trying to research the patches, insignia, ranks and structure of the old West German states. Because of that I never really had the time to devote to WWII Items. 

Now after twenty years of collecting police insignia, I needed a new challenge.  If you don't know it, collecting 3rd Reich items can be extremely difficult due to the vast amounts of fakes & reproductions. It requires a lot of time and effort to research and study pieces. Looks can be, and in many instances are, deceiving. Many items purporting to be WWII are actually post WWII manufacture using the original tooling. So before you plunk down your hard earned money, you'd better know the differences. 

Clicking on any of the links below will take you to each  respective website. Once again, I have no affinity for the politics or actions associated with this period of time. I am simply a collector of historical items.

If you have any WWII Insignia, and are interested in disposing of it, please contact me by clicking on the Police flag below. My primary area of interest is in Police insignia, but I will also consider all 3rd Reich items.
