Authentic HBT? They are asking $250

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have hesitated to post this here as some don't trust "Final Solution" items. I even hate lumping them into that category. That being said, I trust my source and have went through heavy verification steps But I don't view myself as a collector. I am a curator. It is my heart and the goal of my collection to honor voices, tell their stories, and Remember both the tragic and triumphant.

With that being said, I wanted to share this collection. I am currently in the process of researching it prior to me acquiring it.

This set belonged to Georgina Pekarek and was obtained from her grandson. His name is Vasa Pekarek and he still living in Czech republic today. Georgina and her family were in Theresienstadt ghetto.

This is a powerful collection of letters and postcards capturing their thoughts, experiences, and voices at a tragic time in their story. Overall, there are 28 postcards/letters.

Georgina survived the war. A lot of her family did not.

I don't see items like this posted here often and wanted to share a powerful story, survived by these first hand items.

Enjoy

Hello all, I m not a reenactor, but I will be attending a 1940's Ball next month. I am wanting to go in this USMC Service Uniform from At The Front. I have two questions:

1. Do they offer a good product?

2. When in this uniform during this time, did the Marines also wear their ribons and shooting badges or did that come later?

Thanks!

Hello, I am researching this grouping and would love translation assistance. I understand there is a lot here but hopefully a fun challenge for someone as well as a peak into history. Any help welcome and greatly appreciated!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Hey all! Found this at my local antique store yesterday. First time I've come across a USMC style Canteen cover in the wild. I believe it to be a 3rd pattern model. Unfortunately, there are no markings on the cover or Canteen. That caused me to question at first. From my research, although that's rarer, it wasn't unheard of. On the belt, looks like the markings have faded over time. Looks like the belt was manufactured in 1907?? Did I interpret that right?

Thought I'd share. Any additional insights welcomed. Thank you

Hey all, considering this Pioneer Officer's Visor for my first visor. Any authentication issues your trained eyes see?

Thanks!!
