Social Welfare and DRK daggers
Hello Gents,
here are a more of my blades.
this social welfare dagger was a local vet return. and came back as is with the scabbard shown in the first pic. rectangular hanger holes. but i have a second scabbard with a junk blade that has the round holes. i think both are interchangable for social or medical.
the DRK hewer is in nice condition too.

WW2 USAAF airbase - March 15th 2010
Hey all
I returned to 'my' airbase on Monday and was rather dismayed to discover that a number of the buildings had disappeared since my last visit ! Some bloody rotten developer is making way for 'something' although lord knows what. And to make way.........the few remaining buildings are coming down. BAH !
I did of course take the opportunity to search the newly cleared ground and found some unusual bits along with the normal detritus of a military base.
I am fairly certain that I have more or less cleared the base now. I suppose I will always find something but I really do need to bite the bullet (pardon the pun) and move on.
Anyways, here we go with the finds.
Before cleaning.............
And then after cleaning......
Here are some larger pieces post cleaning. The bakelite cover looks like it is off an electrical box as it has an earth connection on it. The piece of aluminium appears to be airframe but has no markings. The wing mirror I have saved just in case it is off an aircraft or jeep....let me know if you recognise it. And finally the 'hanger'. It looks like a coat hanger but it's far too small. I actually found all three bits seperately and married them up after cleaning. What was it used for ? To hang helmets on perhaps ? Or flight caps ? I don't know....post if you do ! The plate has the remains of what could be 'mirroring' around the edges.
A couple of lift the dot fixings with material still attached, and some O rings.
A curious information plate, and two bits of brass I have no clue on. Post if you recognise them please. The smaller brass piece has '3X' stamped on it.
Some other bits I can't ID, although one appears to be made by Lucas......the same company who do electrical bits ? The item bottom left is actually the top off a cigarette lighter. I know this because I found a complete one on the same base a few visits back :) :)
This is a very strange object. About 2 inches in diameter and the same deep, it is certainly a dial for something but what I don't know. If you look closely you can make out the words 'SUMMER' and 'HALE'. Anyone know ?
Onto the stuff I have a greater knowledge of !
Firstly a flare cartridge
Now some .30cals and 303's and, very curiously, one spent German 7.92mm round. I found this in the gun pits so I wonder if the guys had a German weapon they were trying out ? Or perhaps it was the result of a German attack ?
Also found lots of 45cals and spent bullets around the gun pits.
And the usual 20mms and 50cals. Two more chopped up 20mms this visit.
And that's the lot. Please help ID stuff if you know what it is !
Cheers

Wanted: Regimental Beer Stein Parts (Timing Ring)
Hi, I'd imagine that many of these ceramic steins have been broken over the years leaving the pewter top piece remaining.
I'm looking for a Fuse Timing Ring, it's like a large washer that goes below the artillery shell cap (see photo) on this type of stein top. The inside diameter should be about 1.930 inch or 49.mm. If anyone has one or knows were I can get this part I appreciate any information.

Reasons for collecting relic helmets
For most of the relic helmets i have bought ,there is an interesting story comes with some of them.these stories are invaluable.of course i always hope the sellers are being honest.i have a few m35s and an m42 which where found in a small village in poland ,apparently the german unit where surrounded and destroyed towards the end of the war also a m40 russian relic helmet was bought from the same battle ?true ,well hope so.i have a genuine ss m42 with some of the cover rivets still there a little of the cover which apparently came from the rare chalamayne division who where stationed in pomerania.also a lovely m42 ferom the airport in berlin.many other stories which make relic helmets fracinating.one thing i definately know is if any of the stories are incorrect at least they have a genuine ww2 story in them as they where there.
10th WAFFEN PANZER (TANK) DIV.”FRUNDSBURG” tabs.
What do you all think of these, they seem to be really old, but they seem to be a fantasy piece also.
But, i could be wrong. I know these are not autually Waffen SS tabs, thats what the guy that has them said they was, so i thought i would include what he says they are, I was thinking that they were regular army panzer tabs, or something.
Thanks
Brian

Need help! Ceremony photos.
I received these photos from a friend and I'm trying to figure out what they might be. Obviously, the 2 depict some type of ceremony, but I can't even decipher the writing on the one photo. They came out of a photo album. The 2 "ceremony" photos have identifiable Nazi flags within the photos. They measure 3 1/3 by2.25 inches. The photo, with appears to be someone looking down from atop a building, measures roughly 3.5 by 2.5 inches.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
