The Sugamo Prison patch is amazing and with 24 bids it's approaching the very impressive $2,000 range. Also check out the wonderfully preserved paratroop helmet below that has 31 bids and is over $600 in aggressive bidding.
One of the really cool auctions in this block is the gas mask container that includes it's contents. You can easily imagine a soldier carrying this on them as they went into battle.
I guess there will be some crossover bidding from collectors that like Royal Doulton pieces. I can't imagine it's very often that those collectors spend time in the WWII category but that bulldog has more than a dozen bids.
If you want to see an impressive collection click over to see the German Imperial hat. The seller includes a picture of his glass frame at home that is just filled with him. It's a good thing he doesn't give out his home address because that frame has got some money in it.
