Something for the evening socials; a subtle and unasuming little drinking vessel
0.5L Reservistenkrug Bierstein. It's just a cheap repro so I wont be upset if I get drunk and break it!
“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."

"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

UK 1930s watch to restore, it was only cheap but it means Che can wear this instead of the German one I bought that he's petrified to use. Just needs a lens and internal clean hopefully along with more frequent winding as I'm told it looses time (and if Matt see's this I've sorted our time travel plans, we use che's watch, just need to work on getting the bacterial part of the machine trialed...... )
No storage bag here, so pics would be cool.

In the Plastic badges I have 43 individual units plus I have duplicates of some eg 5 Lincolnshire Regt, so the collection is 50+. Still a lot out there to find.
