Wartime WWII Period Ring
Here's a nice find of a wartime period German wedding ring ... really needs no explanation, as photos tell the story.

RZM SA dagger
I have a SA dagger my father brought back from WW2 in 1945.
It has RZM M7/83 clearly marked I will work on some pictures for you.
What does SA mean?
I also have a small microscope maybe 5 " long in a brown leather case. What would you know about it?

Old Tommy style Tin Hats
I today purchased from a car boot sale an old Tommy type tin hat. It was painted in a very rough grey paint, which I suspect is not original as the paint under the headliner inside is more of a stale khaki! It is a bit rusty (who wouldnt be?!) and the leather is very stiff. I have looked on the web and seen various bits of correspondence, but I still cannot date it very well.
It has the folded edge, and it has 16 small holes around the bowl of the helmet with some very old bits of string which clearly were used to secure the inner lining. This lining comprises some 4 looped ¾ wide webbing straps attached in eight places to a single leather band which has some rubber pads between it and the inside of the helmet. There are the remains of a boot-lace which I presume was used to tighten these webbing straps and the inner lining to stop your head touching the inside of the helmet?
The only markings I can find are:
At one end of the helmet (the underside) , is an M might that be the size, or were they all the same?
At the other underside end I can just make out the letters V M 5 and, separately a 1.
Does this give enough clues for someone who knows such things to tell me how old this helmet is? Id guess it was either quite early in view of the relative simplicty or else it was a cheap civilian model!
Id be very grateful for any assistance.
