Restored M1A1 Mine

Hey Guys, Every once in a while I will get a practice mine that is very rusty, when I do I will make a repo/ restored H.E. mine out of it.
Here is the U.S. the original H.E. mines are very rare. Now is i can just learn how to weather this a little. Any hints???

question.

Hi All, just a question about decorations and badges regarding the die or stamps for making such items.

Were these items saved and if so where did they end up at the end of the war, or did they sucumb to the de Nazification of Germany and got destroyed.

Regards

Rick.

Three Peice Luftshutz Gladiator Helmet

Soo i went to my Grandparents today and my grand mother winked at me and let me "Barrow" one of my Greatgrandfather's GI Bring backs for my "History Project" ;)

Unfortunetly my digital camera is dead :mad: so I had to use my webcam to take pictures, sorry, when its done charging if you want I will put up more detailed ones.

He has much more stuff i will take photos of, INCLUDING Bayonets, and a PRISTINE P-38 Pistol with original Holster and matching seriels If im not mistaken :D


Here is the Helmet its self. It has been used for 60 years, my Grandfather says my GreatGrandfather brought back 3, where some of the others are we dont know.. yet. My grandfather said it has been used to play "cowboys and Indians" with so there are scratches and such.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The fadeing Decal, it has a goldish on white set decal, you can make out the swastika and where it used to say "Luftshutz"






The side of the helmet:




The Original Liner:



A dent in the top:



IT was not visiable in the picture, but the stamp read:
12-39/1
(?)achsplreis
Rm. 8-

I think it says Hachsplreis, im not sure though its a bit too faded.




Well there it is hope you enjoyed it.

Need help! United Veterans of the Republic?

Hello all. I found this in a 2nd hand store in Omaha Nebraska in the 1980's. It is made of silk in the original frame. I have tried and tried to track down ANY information about this window hanging. It's similar to others but is unique in itself as having five members in service with one fallen. I live in L.A. and have even gone to the address on the sticker in back but to no avail. I would like to know if there are any others out there and what this might be worth. Everyone here seems so knowledgeable.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanx. Yak.
