Scheintodpistole

Hi.

I wanted to show you a odd gun I bought a while ago.
Its a gun that fires teargas or noxious material to stun an assailant.
I have not found much when searching for "BUA No 99".
The round in the picture is made by Sellier&Bellot.
I would love to hear if you seen anything like it and maybe knows its age.

Best regards
Laplander

Hi Guys, some interesting and scary stuff here:

English Russia Chechen Self-Made Weapons

I love the "AK" and the "anti tank" style rifle so I have posted the pics here. Not sure I would like to fire them though!

Cheers, Ade.

M35 SS DD Relic - Fake?

Hi,

any opinions about this decal? It seems to be misplaced to me, too far to the left and not quite horizontal. The seller says it has a metallic finish. I know there is some specialists around here! Fake? I do not have a pic of the other side yet. Thanks for looking!

My relics cabinet

Hi guys

Thought I'd share with you my new cabinet, filled with stuff I have personally dug up since January 2007.

The only thing I didn't personally dig up are the inert bullets on the bottom shelf. Everything else was found on old WW2 gunnery ranges, WW2 airfields and a visit to the Ardennes.

Hope you like them. :D :D :D :D









Cheers

For stucka; LSSAH photo

As promissed a post of the photograph that was found in Antwerp about 15 years ago with a house clearance. I've had it for years, but know nothing about the soldier, just liked the picture. The family had no interest in the miltary gear that was found there,a lot of it was bought by the dump shop on the big market square in Antwerp. It was all SS stuff, the only item I got out of it was this photograph. Always wonderd what the story behind the lad was, but we will never know now for all the stuff has split up into private collections.
Pitty there is to much "white" above the picture, taken a bit to high, so only a bit of the cufftitle is visible, but it is LSSAH by the look of his shoulder boards.

Don’t tell me this is a fake!

Ok, I was going throusome of my boxes and came across this Heer buckle I have for ages. In fact it was my first buckle I bought years ago. But I saw the fakes on the sticky, and now this looks like a pigeonhead to me! And to make it evenworse its RZM stamped. I would be very disapointed if this turns out to be a fake, because for years I was telling everybody it was an original.
Don't spoil my day please!

M-43 Marshal of the Air Force Tunic and Pants

This tunic and pants set is staying in my collection. It has the 11 banner buttons. Sadly, it is not identified to the former owner. I am hoping to find a WWII hat for a Marshal of the Air Force. How hard will it be to find such a hat and the leather belt with gilt open face rectangle and star?
