lach470 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I too am still here - but not as often as I used to. I apologise for the on and off again see-saw. Once I retire in a couple years - time will be on my side......I hope. Cheers everyone! Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camelspank Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Only just joined and failed to see this string before asking a similarly related question concerning the state of health of the network. Having been collecting for many years now and, only just finding out about your network by accident. I would be absolutely devastated to find that I have been too late. Been reading some of the posts on the forums and this site definitely is required. Forums with like minded people; are for collectors like the AA are for alcoholics. Collecting is purely for the obsessive and no level of detail or breadth of knowledge can ever be too much. Military collecting is incredibly personal and there needs to be a plethora of sources available like yours. I am so excited that I cannot work out where to start with questions for anyone who is a collector of WW1 items. I was at the recent Detling Military Odyssey show and it certainly looked like collectors are still out there. I think that the Covid time drove a lot of collectors underground to internet only purchasing. I have certainly seen more people out and about in terms of meetings, fairs etc. So chin up and keep up the great work. Regards Camelspank aka Ben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Just seeing the responses here, gives me new life and hope. I have been off work and on disability since Feb. and may not ever get back to work again, so my collecting anything new has been slow and and may stop but the spirit never dies and I still have a lot of choice pieces in my collection. Especially my Tropical display. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
