Hello gentlemen

This has been offered for sale and as I know nothing about WWII german navigation equipment, I would like to draw on your huge knowledge.

It is on offer as a german pilots back-up compass. Supposedly it was worn by a Messerschmitt Bf-109 and "liberated" from the plane when the pilot bellyflopped some where in England during WWII.

Any idea as to whether or not this is WWII german and ofcourse as to what the value might be?

Is there anything I should be on the lookout for concerning the compass (i.e. markings etc.)?

I just noticed this thread and they look quite similar

I thank you in advance.

Howdy guys,

What do you think, is this a good or a bad fake?

I better brace myself for impact... I would be quite shocked if it turns up to be original. :D

Thank you all

A picture I took of a friend wearing some of my WWI USMC collection.

Also a B&W taken of members of a reenacting unit called "The Mudgrunts" who wear all original uniforms and equipments. This was done during a TV production filming.

This is a leather helmet that resembles the NSKK helmet - but different. I do not know if the badge came with it, or was added later. What do you think? It has a removable ring around the outside for padding. It has two metal grommet vent holes above the ears. It has a 1" hole on each side in the wide strap- to allow for hearing. I can find NO stamp, or writing inside. The strap assembly is nailed onto the shell with small nails.

Here are some more shots of our recent visit to the Hurtegen. After lots of research and finding an original veteran to give our group a tour of sites most people couldn't find. A Lot of these sites are on forest tracks belonging to the forestry commission so we could access areas closed off to the public. Those dark foreboding woods cunger up many ghost from the not too distant past! Spent cases firefight exchanges we found evidence of it all! Our guide mentioned how 20 to 30 years ago you could still find helmets and such like still strewn around, but now of course you've gotta search a little harder!
