Hi all
I found some very interesting pictures on the net form the Allies meeting the Soviets near Torgau, Germany in april 1945...
First picture:
"2nd Lt. William Robertson and Lt. Alexander Sylvashko, Russian Army, shown in front of sign "East Meets West" symbolizing the historic meeting of the Russian and American Armies, near Torgau, Germany, april 25, 1945.
Hi the photo below is of Yefreitor Vasili Batalov. From his dark shoulder boards, I've been told he's either Artillery or a tank man. Can someone identify his branch of service.
I'm fairly convinced it is German because it has German chicken sctraches on it--one says "Machs gut Alter", etc... I can't read the rest before I get some silly putty. But, seriously, where is this spoon from? It doesn't look like the typical army spoons.
Does anyone know what that little engraving says? I can't even figure out the cursive. I can't get my camera to take a better photo. But, beside that, it says -.88.
This was acquired in Czechoslovakia in the 1980's. It is a Czech Legion tunic and breeches with insignia for Regt 7.
The matching breeches have a triangular stamp and a label with "1" and three Chinese or Kanji Japanese characters. I presume this comes from Vladivostok when it was under Japanese control.

A friend of mine just sent me these two cuff titles, because he lknows I like SA and Political items.
Is anyone familiar with the two titles?
Both are uniform removed and used.
Thank you,

Can somebody tell me more about the PPsH-41 ammo pouch in the picture? Is it Soviet (WWII/GPW) manufacture and what about the stamp?
hello everyone i have recently come across a armband which i purchased at an antique shop, the band seems to be almost orange rather than red, so could it be faded or were there yellow or orange ones as well?
its the same usual design white circle with black swastika in the center
Can any one in this area tell me if this vase is fake or from the period? The person i bought it from got it with some rings from his family in France
