Uniform Collection Major C.H. Liddell MC

Hi guys,

I thought i would share this buy from yesterday, i found them in a box all scrunched up (excuse the creases) in a house clearence shop. All the Tunics are named and range from 1937 to 1954. They all came with the correct trousers too. Two are not included in the photos and that is a Spare Battle Dress (no insignia but named) and trousers and a civilian dress jacket.

It seems that Major Charles Henry Liddell was a career officer in the Rifle Brigade and was awarded the Military Cross in 1941, here is his citation:

This Officer was in command of night patrols round NIBEIWA camp on the nights of 2/3 and 7/8 Dec 1940. On the first occasion accompanied by 2 NCO's he crawled through the defences between enemy sentry groups only 50 yards apart and located the A/Tk Minefields and also a gap in the defences. On the second occasion accompanied by the same NCO's he found enemy Tanks patrolled by sentries stationed apparently in the minefield.
Although the Tanks were only 10 to 20 yards apart he suceeded in getting in between them, unseen by the patolling sentries and locate the gap in the minefield leading to the camps.
The information gained by this officers gallant action was of great value and was probably intrumental in saving many casualties when the tank attack took place on the 9th Dec.

Flak NCO visor, good or bad?

Here are two pictures of a flak visor someone is offering me. It looks ok but everytime I ask him about the price he changes his mind. Its at $300 and something today:b:
Also does anyone know anything about the maker? It seems to be of a little higher quality than some NCO caps.

Leather Preservation (Imperial belt)

I have an Imperial German belt and buckle. It is in fair shape, but over the years the leather have started to dried out. Is there anything that I could apply to the leather to help with the drying out, with-out messing the leather up( I do not want it to look new)?

BF109E Wheel

I bought this quite a while ago,its the port main wheel for
a BF109E. Seeing only 1 ever came to Australia,its 99%
sure th be from Yellow 7 a Bf109e-3,from 3/JG3 shot
down at Wychling in Kent 5 September1940.
It was sent out raising money for the British Bombing Victims,Red
Cross and the Australian Comforts Fund.
It was broken up at Laverton after the War. And this
is believed to be the last bit of it!

Happy VE Day or Victory Day! День Победы

Today is the 64th anniversary of VE Day or "Victory in Europe Day". In Europe and the USA we commemorate it today, but in Russia it is celebrated on May 9th as Victory Day or День Победы.

Many of our Russian members will know this song День Победы. Here is the Red Army Choir singing it:

YouTube - Russian Red Army Choir -Victory Day (Dyen' Pobyedy)

So raise your glass today and toast the Vets who gave us Victory! I will be spending this evening in the company of some Vets.

Cheers, Ade.

SS Verfuegungstruppe Double decal ET 64 steel helmet. RARE!




SS Verfuegungstruppe Double decal ET 64 steel helmet (there no stampings of a factory and size and batch visible on the helmet, due of fat layers of paint on it). The helmet is more than 7 times repainted, twice in black over a khaki green, each layer has a decals which is partially visible on it. The runes decals side as you can see has two layers of visible decals- one underneath of the second (the upper decal is partially lost due of use and the second layer is visible at the right side of the runes decal). Both looks like Pocher decals. The same with swastika shield, there are 3 layers of decals visible, and one more just a border underneath of black paint. The decals layers are fat and you can feel it by finger touch. The helmet has a very nice usage traces and as you can see from the pictures has a lot of cracks on the paint, which we are like a lot. That is a very rare early pre 1938 year made helmet with a liner band without reinforcement and dated 1936 year. For a 100% that helmet must be belonged to one of the earliest SS formations as a Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler or Totenkopf, or even for some of the SS Standarts. Unfortunately the chinstrap is not belonged to that helmet, but belonged to one other SS helmet, and is battlefield found and restored to the original condition. We provide you as many of the pictures for your inspection, and as for all of our other items we give you guarantee of authenticity for that beautiful helmet (Certificate of Authenticity). We are sure, that the helmet in that condition and with such a long way of service you can pick up just now, and probably this is your last chance. Do not miss.

ET 62 Double decal WH Heeres




ET 62 Double decal WH Heeres, war time re-issue helmet. Battle damaged. Very nice and authentic helmet, which was repainted in the mid war to the rough field gray paint. Inside of the helmet is dome approval stamp, which is partially missed due of the crack on the paint (hard to see from pics). The liner is 1937 year made, and due of all of the pre 1938 made liners has not a side aluminum reinforcements, that was a fact of each second helmet with broken liner's ring. Most of the old type liners was changed later by depots to a newest model ( mostly M 40 with reinforcement and steel ring). Our example has untouched old type liner, side broken due of use. Also the decals are clearly visible under the repaint, due of the rough paint fall from a decals coated with a smooth lacquer due of hard use. The bullet damage on the left side of the helmet. Unfortunately chinstrap is missed. Neck guards apron marked 3241.
