65TH Grenadier Officer Tunic
I picked this up from a good friend at the SOS. This is the tunic of an Oberleutnant of the 65th Grenadier Regiment, which was attached to the 22nd Luftlande-Division. This unit was one of the earliest non paratroop airborne transport units. They were first deployed in Holland in 1940 as airborne deployed. The unit later was deployed in Operation Barbarossa, where they were deployed in the Southern sector. In 1942, the unit was transfered first to Salonika and later to Crete in the late summer of 1942. In 1943, the unit was reorganizaed in to a motorized division and renamed the 22nd Volksgrenadier Division. The 22nd remained on garison duty until mid 1944, when they were redeployed to Yugoslavia where they were involved in anti-partisan activities.
An interesting side note is that while still in Crete in the Spring of 1944, the commanding officer, Generalmajor Heinrich Kreipe, was abducted by a team of British Special Operations Executive.
The tunic appears to be midwar and is manufactured from a gabardine material. The lack of a ribbon bar on this tunic would likely indicate that it belonged to an officer who joined the unit in Crete and did not receive the Ostfront Medal.

Hey Guys, Thought I would share some of the WWII relics I have found here in the States. These are not as cool as the battlefield found relics lots of you guys are finding but its all we got here.
One of these days I would love to hunt relics on your European battlefields. These were found on private ranch property in AZ, I like to photograph all finds. Hope you enjoy.

Named M42 Luftwaffe with Bring Back Tag
Hey Guys, This is my last pick up and my first Luft. I think I picked a good one here. Single decal, Renamed with bring back tag from a Pvt from battery "B". Has the name Bester in Ink on the liner and it looks like a name was scratched off and a new one painted on. Marking are ET 64 and the lot number looks to be..its hard to make out the first #, 2012 and has remnants of the old white paint in the numbers. On the top of the lid, you can see where the address label was applied. Sorry for glare in pics.

WW1 bayonet?
The info this forum has provided for my Rohm dagger is incredible, so I thought I would try again.I have had this bayonet for many years, Bought at a flea market. It is very plain and fits my 1891 Argentine Mauser well. I dont have a K98 to try it on. Any ideas?

Relic Sites In Scotland?
Does anyone know of any sites in Scotland? Hopefully in the Dundee, Fife area or anywhere close to there. All the sites I've already been to are pretty rubbish, the best I've ever found is a PARA stable belt buckle :(
