I could use some help with Identification of items

Hello, Sorry if this is the wrong thread...I have some items that I am selling for a widow of a WW2 US Vet. I usually sell and research items on Ebay , but I guess they don't allow items with certain symbols. So I was hoping some of you could help me with Identifying and perhaps some advice on how to sell the items and their value.The Big swastika is 44 inches across, I think they cut it out of a flag, but maybe one of you might know for sure , it is signed by us service people that the man who owned this served with, he stormed the beaches on D-day and he brought back these items along with a bayonet and a few other things that I put on Ebay..Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks

Need help! SS skull - my first Example!

Hi
I recently bought this SS skull. I must say that it is my first badge of this kind. But as soon as I look around the web net I saw, that there are many fakes.
Seller, from whom I've bought it for 15 euros or 20 dollar, told me, that it is assman's bagde.
It is made from alluminum and it has 155/38 engraved on inner side.
So what do you think? Fake or real?



Short Snorter Translation Needed?

I would appreciate it if anyone could translate this for me? See photos.

Thanks,
Richard

Concrete mine?

Good morning, my interests are only in firearms but I have found many of these pieces of concrete. A friend of mine tell me that they are german concrete mines. Can you confirm?

a few of my latest additions

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some of my latest additions to my small but ever growing collection.

These are some things i gathered in the past few weeks.
The items are not very special, but a few i did not have yet, and some had to be bought in a lot with some other stuff

- German Canteen stamped HRE40
- Dienstbrille + Med pack
- Wooden ammo box
- a small lot of Gebirgsjager gear
- Dutch distribution cards ( belonged to 2 relatives)
- Photo album with 47 pics from a R.A.D member
- Heereskarte (map) dated 1941 near mint condition

If anyone can tell me some more on the ammo krate then please do..

And if anyone needs a german boot (stiefel) for repairing then let me know..in the gebirgsjager lot was one a boot without sole.
condition is pretty ok. its a right boot size not sure guess a size 8 or 9 ( size 42/43 in netherlands)

M40 SD Wehrmacht shell…real/fake??

Hi guys,

I was offered a M40 SD Wehrmacht shell...

It is a unmarked unstamped helmet in reasonable condition.
Seller gives full warranty on this beeing a genuine helmet

Im pretty sure that the paint is non original..
But im in doubt about the shell,
i know there are unmarked original shells, and this one looks pretty ok in my humble opinion...

The seller insured me its a original, and has offered a full refund when it is not original.
The price is also fair...75,- euro's

So what do you guys think?
