Longhorn92 Posted July 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2020 I lucked into some really nice patches last week. Well, a little luck plus making contact with other collectors. I obtained a very nice SF wing; a great little SAARF group; and a very cool Chinese Commandos group, including a blood chit. The SF wing I thought I may find someday but the SAARF patches I didn’t believe I’d ever find. I’m really excited about all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted July 3, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 3, 2020 You have done extremely well with your quest to pick up some amazing insignias. Congratulations on your acquisitions. I really appreciate your comment about getting great pieces like this because of the contacts that you have developed. It seems that so often, collecting militaria (especially elite units) is like a big contest to see who can have the most and the best. I have repeatedly told younger collectors that instead of treating other collectors as competition, or the enemy, develop relationships with them so that you can appreciate their finds. Every once in a while, somebody will find something for you that you would never find yourself. You're teaching that right now! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn92 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted July 3, 2020 Thanks. Yup, I’ve said it before. There’s no way I have most of my insignia without getting to know reputable dealers and collectors. There are several dealers and/or collectors I feel fortunate to have on my phone (maybe they don’t feel as fortunate, though) and I pester them a few times a month. I met them at shows, which everyone should go to if they can, and right here on this board. All of the new items I got last week were from the lead of a collector friend. I’m fortunate to have had very good experiences with other collectors thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
