Greetings to everyone!
As a brand new member, I have to say that 1/2 hr browsing this site has taught me more than many weeks on the Internet! I have only recently started to take a very humble interest in Russian WW2 militaria and was put off a little because Russian WW2 pattern items seem to have been made and used by half the world for several decades after GPW! I should like to acquire the uniform and eqpt of an ordinary OR infantryman - but there seems to be a maze of issues concerning identifying what's correct - quite apart from finding the money to pay for it! I have a Lend Lease leather belt (dated 44) and a mess tin (I said it was humble!) I should like advice on identifying and sourcing stuff like backpack, canteen and an authentic uniform. Which of the manifold dealers out there are to be trusted?
What I have read so far on this forum has been very helpful - keep it up and greetings from Kent, England!

WW1 belt buckle?
Today in a junk shop in Ayvaliik, on the north Aegean coast of Turkey, I bought a very old belt buckle.(two photos attached) I noticed afterwards that it had the name Harrison hand-engraved on the back of it. Obviously, in Turkey, this name would be out of place. Ayvalik is along the coast from Gallipoli. It occurred to me that the buckle might have belonged to a soldier killed at Gallipoli. I googled Harrison/Gallipoli and found details of an Anzac soldier called Philip Henry Harrison, who was killed at Gallipoli in August 1915, and whose body was never found.
In order to check whether this is just an unfounded flight of fancy, I've been trying to find images of what Anzac belt buckles would have looked like in WW1, and came across this site. Can anyone tell me if this object is in fact a belt buckle, or from some other piece of military equipment? It looks quite similar to a Sam Browne buckle, but is obviously not the same. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me identify this object.

Has anybody heard of the RBD ?
I was wondering what this real pretty Gold & Black patch represents? Wikipedia doesn't really say much. Thanks.
U.K. - Protection of Military Remains Act 1986
Here's one for those of you in the U.K. who, like me, are interested in researching and recovering crashed military aircraft.
The PMR Act was introduced to protect military archaeological sites.

Nsdap sign
This particular sign is mostly found in metal which was posted on the outside of a building housing the local political organizations and where one could note a need to visit one of the offices. The sign reflected is made of wood and was used inside a building, this construction is the first one Ive seen, its my guess that not to many wood ones survived.
