Rare item SS rider:shok_yikes: holding a Reichskriegflag and setting on a wind-up horse with decorative saddle blanket. The toy is made out of tin and when wound up moves along, has key and is in A-1 condition with now flaws. The maker is "Elefant" and stands 14.5cm high - colorful and Rare item.
Could use some help in placing a price on this as Im not a toy collector.
Thanks

Hi fellow collectors

I hope not to bore you with my soviet helmet questions ;)
Here we have another 1939 dated helmet has some special
features as you can see :

In my opinion this helmet has been repaired and reissued with another
darker and more glossy paint and a red star as well.

It almost looks like a kind of a parade helmet to me.
Let us start with some pics:

Here one frontal view

Some nice items ground dug from trenches around the Geienkirchen area

Found some nice personal items including a cap badge, tunic button and webbing clips all around some trenches. Some of the trenches were very well preserved.

Found alot of live ordnance inclusing two 36 grenades, incendiary round from an aircraft, lots of live 303s some still with cloth belt and a live 3 inch mortar. I would be interested if anyone has had any experience of searching this area or any info on units that fought there. It was predominantly the 43 rd Wessex Div that fought in this battle.

Can anyone help identify the ordnance: I have found several of them in the same area in the Hurtgen. The pics are detailed in my album. Any suggestions would be helpful
