Need help! opinion wanted on M42 et64
Hi guys,
What is your opinion on this helmet.
i was offered it, but its also up on ebay..
see item description
the seller claims its a all original piece, with original lining.
As i dont have a M42 yet, i am keen on getting one.
Do you think this is a honest piece..and what is an estimate on how much to pay for this item?
Thanks in advance

Question Ss death card unit?
Hi Chaps, I've a question for the SS experts. Can anybody tell me which SS unit that Johann Holzl was serving with when he was killed? I can make out that he was killed in Poland (Laisk is in Poland); but other than the date & his age my poor German has let me down.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Cheers,
Richard.

Soviet Air force General M40
Hello everyone!
Here is My latest find. This is nearly mint condition M40 Air Force Generals jacket with belt and decorations. The Order of Red banner is the same one that I send pictures few weeks ago but everything else is new to My collection!

Wow.. Plenty of recent UK Airfield finds.
I've again been busy the good weather has warranted a few more visits recently and I've recovered plenty of varied WW2 relics from the Airfield cool militaria.
The recovery is the easy part its the cleaning, restoration and preservation that's taken the time and I'm still at it:confused:, so may post a bit more in the future.
The items are grouped into what I'd say were related uses,
So here we go....
1) 1a) and 1b) show some of my recent finds in as found condition.
2) I've grouped personal items.
2a) I was surprised with this, I always thought Old Spice After Shave was a post war product, but this was found amongst all the war relics so dates to that period.
2ai) The bottle base details shows Made in USA.
2b) Believe it or not this is a glove as I found it. the stitches had rotted and the peices were scattered.
2bi) To restore for display, I first soaked it in water for two days (I've used this method successfully before). The dry leather soaked it in becoming supple and I could also clean the peices.
I then worked out how the peices assembled and hand stitched them together. The glove was then packed with newspaper to get the correct shape and left to dry. Once dry the correct shape was retained, the paper removed and its now an interesting display peice. A bonus was as it dried my stitching was tightened.
From the paint on the back dark green and a light blue I think it was used by ground crew?
