Oh wait, let me reword it...
You live North or South of the Mason Dixon line?
East really. Or west if you take the scenic route!
I think I photographed anything that seemed relevant.

I wonder who it was who selected that title?

I remember the original suggestion now.
It should have been 'Smiffy's Stuff'.
Junk works, too, because it reminds me of Steptoe and Son.
I'm missing the stuffed bear at present.

Never seen that.
Accept no imitations. This is the original "dirty old man":
His son described him so eloquently:
Harold Steptoe: You are a dyed-in-the-wool, fascist, reactionary, squalid little, 'know your place', 'don't rise above yourself', 'don't get out of your hole' - complacent little turd.
Harold Steptoe: You are morally, spiritually and physically a festering fly-blown heap of accumulated filth.

Some very cheap copies:
NSFK (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps) Balloon Pilot’s Badge.
The NSFK was founded in 1937 as a successor to the German Air Sports Association, during the years when a German Air Force was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. The organization was based closely on the organization of the Sturmabteilung and maintained a system of paramilitary ranks closely associated with the SA.
Navy Minesweepers Sub Chasers and Escort Vessels War Badge (Kriegsmarine Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boots-Jagd, und Sicherungsverbände).
This award was instituted on 31st August 1940, for crews of Minesweepers, Sub Chasers and Escort Vessels who had participated in three operational sorties. It could be granted for one sortie if it had been particularly successful, the recipient had been wounded, or the recipient's ship was sunk.
The SA Sports Badge was issued between 1933 and 1945 as a political version of the much more generic German Sports Badge.
The SA Sports Badge was issued in three grades (bronze, silver, and gold) as well as a special version known as the "SA Sports Badge for War Wounded".
Although originally designed as a physical fitness badge for Nazi stormtroopers, the SA Sports Badge was issued across every German military and paramilitary organization. The SS held the SA Sports Badge in high regard, and many of its senior members, Heinrich Himmler, Karl Wolff, and Arthur Nebe among them, qualified for the decoration. The badge was also commonly issued to the Wehrmacht and was one of the few political decorations that the armed forces allowed to freely be displayed on a military uniform (other such decorations included the Blood Order and the Golden Party Badge).

In September 2007, I was in Budapest and visited the 'Museum of Terror' which was all about Nazi and Russian involvement in 20th century Hungary. It was, without a doubt, the BEST multi-media/interactive museum I've ever been to!Montana Smith said:
Shortly after that, I posted an image here at the Raven, of the Hungarian Arrow Cross and it was IMMDIATELY DELETED by a moderator. (Before anyone thinks that I'm pro-Nazi, please know that I'm part Jewish.)
You're getting away with murder, Smiff!

I blame Indiana Jones for keeping alive my fascination with the enemy!
There's too much banning of symbols in the world at the moment, and, in my experience, it's having the opposite effect.
For balance, this is still one of the coolest little bits of junk in the collection:

Hot Toys DX06 Jack Sparrow:
An incredible figure with so much detail, and so many accessories.

This figure is so much more satisfying than the DX05 Indiana Jones.
Hopefully there'll be a TOD Indy, and it'll be up to this level of all-round quality:
