Here's another item i won probably from the same car.I have another one of these that was dugout in Poland (that one is missing the surround) so must have been a common item on the front line's for Staff car's.I think this one can be cleaned up a little better but i have to be careful as they are quite thin and easily damaged:D
Hi guy's,
I have just won this nice item from a seller on ebay who specialize's in item's dugout from the former German 6th army airfield at Gumrak.Most item's are from a huge bunker they have unearthed full of personal item's and unwanted vehicle part's.This is the first hubcap i have been able to win and i am seeking to identify it asap:D
I think it's from a Staff car such as a 38 cabriolet as it's decorative and was originally chrome plated but probably over painted in filed grey for wartime use.What do you guy's think?
Hi guy's,
I just recieved this badge in the mail.I don't normally collect this type of item but it was only US$25 on Broker so thought i'd grab it for the cabinet.Never had anything from the 36 game's before:) However i have no idea if it's of the period or not:o
What do you guy's think?:D
I found this one on a relic site too. Ive never seen a more bullet holed relic shell in all my time collecting.If it was being worn at the time i would not want to see the condition of the soldier who was wearing it:eek:

Hi guy's,
I found this interesting M35 Helmet on a Stalingrad relic site a while back and thought i would share it with the forum:)It's very unusual as it appear's to have cammo paint under the liner (or is it apple green?) as well as unit number over the top.Somthing different that i have never seen before and how's the colour? It look's like the white has reacted with other cammo paint and turned it a greenish blue colour:eek:

Hello helmet specialists and collectors. I would like to ask for your help on Soviet helmet stamps. Beside the ones listed in M. Clawson book do you guys know any other helmet factory codes?
I have seen proofs of the following factory stamps used on WWII helmets : ЛM3, ЗКО and CT
Do you guys have any pictures of the other listed factory stamps?
Also did somebody ever heard about a "second" LMZ factory which should have been called "Lysma Metallurgicheskiy Zavod"? I have never heard about that one until recently. Somebody told me they were making helmets as well???
Last question, does anybody have in his collection a 1942, 1943 or 1944 ЛM3 stamped helmet?
German U-Boat crew rebreather or "TAUCHRETTER". Got this from a friend. Unfortunately a few ugly marks, looks like patches. But fairly complete. Has a eagle and swastika stamp. Sauerstoff bottle is made by AUER and dated 14.11.42. It is said that this rebreather comes from one of the U-boats that was sank near the South African Coast, near St. Helena.
