2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger - Opinions please

Dear Friends,

I'm purchasing this Luftwaffe dagger but i'm not sure about it's originality and no idea about it's real value in actual state. All opinions will be important to my decision to purchase it. I don't find any manufacturer markings on the blade or scabbard and the top of the cross guard without engraves is unknow to me.

Thank you for your opinions.

M35 Heer Named To Army Officer

Hi Guys, I just love named lids, I have had this one for about a year now..It was my 3rd helmet bought. Here is what I think would be called a splinter camo named to a LT. Herbert Wenzel, what I know as of 15 Nov 44 he was with 5th Company, Field replacement battalion, 708th Volksgrenadier Division. If any historians can help add to Herbert's history that would be great. Stamped NS66 / 5926 Hope all like pics.

Edited: Sorry for the second pic..that should not be in this thread.

Thank you.

Luftwaffe Flying Helmet - Opinion Please

Dear Friends,

I'd like to have some opinions about the originality and purchase value of these Flying Helmet and goggles. I think the helmet is a Luftwaffe item because the label is in german language and the googles seems to be an american model.

Thank you for your reply.

Beretta Model 26/31 6.35mm/.25automatic

This is the only one of these pistols that I have ever seen.. It is a rather scarce Model 26/31 6.35mm pistol, Fascist proof dated 1933.. It was the first of the Beretta pistols with the 'filbac' steel reinforced grips that became a norm with the rest of the Beretta's Ie: Mod 34,318,418,.. In the early 70s.. I was visited by two.. Italian Engineers who were also Militaria collectors.. They were my fathers age and had been in Italy durring the War. One was in the Fascist Infantry, and the other was in the Fascist Forest Militia, which guarded the forests of Italy.. He said that these 6.35mm/.25cal. pistols was carried by them while guarding the forests of Italy, and was very susprised to see one in the USA.. I told him that It was carried home by a US GI as a war souviner... Enjoy this Little BERETTA......BILL

German Red Cross headgear

I have always been a fan of the eagle the German Red Cross used on their uniforms. The old style Reichsadler type eagle is an interesting marking and looks good on their caps. Does anyone have any Red Cross visors in their collection? I would like to see some pictures. Also what other types of headgear did the Red Cross use? Does anyone have any original pictures of Red Cross personnel?
Thanks!:)
