Can anyone help I am trying to work out what 'SAW' means marked on the side of a SMLE. The rifle was manufactured in the Birmingham Small Arms & Cycle co. There was talk that the rifle came came back from South Africa. So maybe the S.A.W is South African ??? I will post photos once I get my camera working

I have a Banner I have been trying to identify for years. It was given to me by my uncle who flew P-51s and P-38s over Germany late in the war. He traded cartons of cigarettes for it at the end of the war.
The Banner is roughly 14 to 16 inches wide, maybe 16 to 20 ft. long. It's fine red silk with metallic gold colored fringe at each of the narrow ends, (It appears as if it was made to hang over a standard of some sort so that it was visible front and back). My uncle was told that it hung directly behind Hitler. One end has a very elaborate German eagle embroidered with the same gold metallic thread the eagle stands out from the silk, Under the eagle in gold lettering are the words "Der Furor". The other end has a very elaborate swastika embroidered in the same metallic gold thread.
Any information would be much appreciated!

An interesting WW2 German buckle converted to Soviet (Officer?) by adding the star cut out from an officer's buckle.
Her's a nice inscribed stauette, to a Hauptfeldwebel at an aerodrome in Southern Germany, 1940.
Hello mates. Nice to switch to this forum for the first time. Anyway, here are some pics of this great Orden. 800$ is the offer to me. What do u think, is it expensive, is it fake etc.
