Tape is the enemy of archivists and anybody who buys the scrap book to the left is going to hate it too. You can't fault the guy though these were his mementos and probably wasn't figuring on them getting auctioned to the highest bidder one day. If you want a crazy price click on the Thompson Submachine guy piece below- ouch!
The nice tunic jacket below is reportedly from a Doctor who held the rank of Major. There can't be too many of those around anymore. The Luftwaffe leather flight helmet is also getting a lot of attention right now on eBay.
One listing below that I suggest you click on is the Canadian Parachute Regimen smock. With 19 bids it's just over $600 and ends Sunday night.
For this WW1 block I have to recommend the 2nd Division 5th Regiment Velvet Patch pictured below. I love old unit patches.
