Serious Inquires only When Pricing Everything or an Extensive List
This is only a Portion of what I have available
Listings toward bottom of page are the most up to date. Some items pictured here may be sold and may be marked as such.
Today, November 3, 2025 I'm letting the public know that I will soon be re-photographing my collection and posting the new photos shortly after. I made several sales recently and that allows more room for display and to bring out many items that I have not offered previously.
Until then please look at the existing photos and feel free to inquire as to availability and prices. I am still offering a huge price reduction when multiple items are purchased at the same time. As always I stand behind everything I sell and will refund any money spent if you are dissatisfied or have any doubt about the authenticity. I have been collecting a long time and will only sell reproductions that are labeled as such. Some people want to fill holes in their collections and re-enactors wear repros while at shows and re-enactments. They have a place but only when clearly marked. As of this morning I still have the Knights Cross, Iron Crosses First and Second class from both wars. I have many Merit Crosses and Honor Classes along with Mother's Crosses in all three grades. I still have Infantry Assault Badges, General Assault Badges, many Wound Badges from both wars and dozens of "Tinnies" from before and during the Third Reich. I recently brought out my collection of American Shoulder Unit Patches that features WW2, Korea and Vietnam. I also have several Vietnam MIA bracelets. I re-arranged several display cases to better display their contents. One is primarily buttons from uniforms and the other is Hitler Youth Items. I have added to my fancy medals case nearly a dozen French medals from the First World War era. Note that American soldiers in WW1 were often awarded medals by the French in a display of appreciation. There are many items that are best viewed in person if possible and in that way you can hold a piece of history in your own hands. Simply contact me through Facebook and we can arrange a time and day to meet. I still take cash, Zelle and PayPal so I will also mail items to buyers. - Ed Fusco

The Railroad Eagle, and The Reichstag Eagle were sold to me as Reproductions by a British Militaria store for $200 at the time. The photo in between them shows the details of the "Maker's Markings". An original Eagle was used to make a mold and so this reproduction in cast aluminum is very accurate although most originals suffered damage from attacks or during removal. It measures 28 by 16 inches and the gold color Reichstag Eagle is18 inches by 6 inches. See below for additional Eagles and flag pole toppers. The company I bought them from sells uniforms, accessories, accouterments, field uniform components such as canteens, mess kits, gas mask canisters, awards and medals along with anything else a movie company might need. Their inventory is among the best as far as accuracy and quality and their inventory is generally large enought to outfit everyone from cooks to Generals.They will refund a portion of the cost to buy back the items when returned in the same condition as when it left.

I do not make a habit of selling copies or reproductions. I made an exception when it comes to the aluminum eagles because of the cost and scarcity of original Railroad eagles. Quality reproductions are also
In short supply. They do look great when displayed at a table of original items for sale. My railroad eagle was undoubtedly made in order to fool possible buyers since they went to a lot of trouble to replicate
the maker's marks. I never knowingly offer an item that is a copy or reproduction and not label it as such. If I can't prove something is genuine I let people know. Some dealers offer a 'certificate of authenticity'
Some even say a 'lifetime guarantee' and charge as much as $40.00 for the written guarantee. A guarantee is only as good as the person who makes it and later honors it. I stand behind what I sell and what I say about the items.

Prices are subject to change and do fluctuate, Some items can be saved,
Prices are discounted when more than one item is purchased at a time
I don't have firm prices on most things and I don't have an online catalog. I mostly sell if I need the money or
when someone contacts me who is a collector just starting out and can't afford to spend thousands on a SS dagger or
who isn't looking for the medal that looks brand new and has the rare maker's marks. I remember the feeling of the
first time I held a medal in my hands that had been awarded to a member of a heroic regiment or company that was
nearly eliminated but overcame extreme odds and survived. I also remember the first 'Tinnie' I was sold at a very fair
and reasonable price by a long time collector. I appreciate the collector who loves to look at the artistry behind each
badge or medal, item of insignia or rank. I don't care what the item may represent to someone in either direction. That
is up to the individual. I like holding history in my hands. I am happy to make an appointment for anyone who wishes to
come here and look at everything. They can still pay by PayPal or Zelle or cash as you choose.
I have been fooled many times by reproductions or outright fraudulent items intended to fool the observer into believing
it is genuine. Many times I have bought items used in old movies that were sometimes made after the war on original machinery
using original materials. To all apperances they are genuine and in actuality are except for maybe a number of months time
when made. I do not set out to defraud anyone and I can be mistaken or proved wrong that an item is genuine. I stand behind
what I sell as being genuine to the best of my knowledge and will refund what was paid if an item is found to not be genuine.
Some things should be obvious. If you see my Partisan Badge or a medal that you know goes for $500.00 or more and I am selling it
for $40.00 then it is a Reproduction. It will be a high quality repo but all the same it was not made during the war. In my view reproductions
have a place in this world. Some people use them as place holders until they can afford the real item. I used to sell to re-enactors and while
they are out in a field acting as they believe the German soldiers thye certainly are not going to be wearing an Iron Cross First Class or a
Knight's Cross. In fact the person reading this may be unaware of the fact the German soldiers usually wore their awards on the battlefields.
As the war drew to a close and the British refused to acept a surrender from the German soldiers, the Soviets along with the American soldiers
and the British would confirm the soldier was a member of the SS and them shoot them. No trial or even accuations. If they had the time of course
the SS soldiers were would brutally torture the solders and either administer the 'coup de grâce'. If it was Winter and the harsh weather was all around
the Soviets would leave the captives there in the snow to slowly die. All in the name of 'justice' though it more closely resembled retribution. For over
80 years the American public was lied to when it came to anything about the German people or the NAZI Party members. Believing what they read or
what was told to them the victorious Allied soldiers felt no guilt from taking God's place in administering punishment to more often than not German soldiers.
It was quite unnerving to come across German soldiers horribly disfigured because they happened to surrender rather than fight on. It would certainly
affect their thoughts to see a young soldier of 17 years with his feet burnt off., maybe his tongue cut out because he couldn't control his screaming out in pain.
Of course the need for manpower was partially met with young volunteers from the Hitler Youth. Adolf Hitler was a front line soldier in WW1 and much
of his time in service as a distatch runner. For five years he faced the prospect of detailing his soldiers across the enemy lines in order to try to capture an
officer from whom they hoped to extract information. Hitler was in fact not out to take over France. He spelled out his entire plan in Mein Kampf so people
around
the world could read for themselves just what he thought and felt inside. I
seriously believe he knew nothing about the SS death camps. I am in
very good
company with that conclusion too and many German generals and platoon leaders
swore an oath they knew nothing about those camps. Of
course there were considerably more camps across Europe. The German military as well as the government employess all swore they never heard Hitler
give an order to execute anyone until it came to the trial of the men arrested in conjunction with the attempt on Hitler's life. He ordered their executions
were to be filmed. Then later in 1944 the Germans made surrender overtures. No one was willing to testify that Hitler ever ordered his soldiers to surrender
or to torture or murder prisoners who did surrender. All official documents and orders were made in triplicate and not was has ever been found that would
prove he ordereed the extermination of Jews. It would have been no surprise considering the people who supported the NAZIs were often fanatical about
their support, loyality and a hatred for Jews. When confronted with charges of executing Jewish prisoners the defendants at the Nuremburg trials tried to
explain those words reflected what the voting popluation felt. The prosecuting attorney entered into the official court records what they claimed were
Hitler's words/orders. After the fall of the Soviet Union, they were able to present documents with Hitler's personal signature and seal that ordered the
wholesale slaughter of Jews, homosexuals, Masons etc. The once ultra secret records of the SS and Gestapo didn't come close to causing the soldiers to
follow internaaational laws. The KGB it turned out had employed 6 forgers to reproduce the document forms with different text. It worked. Goering was
known to be a patron of the arts and someone who would write out a personal pass to 'get out of the consentraion camps'. He rescued quite a few. When
accused of ordering the execution of dozens of Polish Jews, Soviet Jews and even Ukrainian Jews he vehemently denied it. The prosecutor placed the
document on the desk in front
of him. He starred at it in disbelief and meekly replied that 'yes,
the document had been signed by him'.
More camps whose design was to inter anyone who might decide to act like a partasian and destory foods, munitions and basic uniform supplies. Hitler
feared no one or their opinions. The military trucks, tanks ,personal carriers, food supplies, weapons and ammunition were highly valued as were the soldiers
themselves. He lived in constant danger and knew if he was captured he would be tortured in an effort to extract information.
Medals and badges made by Rudolf Souval in Vienna are being treated by me as if they are all made war time. He made them both during the war and after
on the same equipment with the same material. I believe there are currently 6 or 8 made by his firm in my collection. I have a few itemsd purchased from
a museum in Germany yerars ago as they changed their displays. The country has become so pissy about anything from the era of the Third
Reich it is possible they were removing a historical display permanently.There are several online companies selling "Museum quality"
reproductions for the same price or more than an original. Also, if an item has a 'screw back' attachment design it is likely a fake. I have an EK
First Class and a Knight's Cross and neither have a screw back and both are original. I have three "Peenemude" employee badges and I assume all
are reproductions, just very good ones. I have seen many online and they do not attach like these and have different numbers.

July 17th More to the Mix
Here I present some more of my collection. It accounts for about 1/3 I believe. I went to photograph these and re-discovered some items I really love.
You can generlaly ignore the things written on the tags on some of the items as I put that there years ago when I worked some military and Gun shows.
If you see something you are interested in simply message me or even email me at EdsImagery@Aol.com
