This is a pin I found in my late father's collection of WW2 items. He was a first generation Polish-American in the American army. I found it pinned to Swiss hotel card where he was on leave. Could he have done a pin trade with a Polish soldier whom he met in Switzerland? My father was fluent in Polish.

I am posting on the Western Allies thread as I am assuming that it is from a Polish organization in the west. It is unlikely that my father would have had contact with Poles in the Soviet army. If it was an item from the Polish Communists wouldn't it more likely have a hammer and sickle or a star rather than a cross?

Let me know if there is a more specific thread on which to post it.

Thanks.

Hi All, I'm new to the forum but not new to collecting. Ive been a firearms collector for 25 yrs and various WWII items for about 15.Anyway i picked up this TK tab some yrs back at a Gun/Militaria show and believe it is real but ive never really had it checked out. The background appears to me as velvet/felt it has hardened and shrunk a bit i guess from how it was stored in a damp basement or garage? As you can see it has cracked as well.The skull threads are woven tight and it is stiff and the backing has discolored.Ive had it under my UV light and No part of glows at all.Thank's Ray

Gidday All,
Can anybody tell by these pictures if this Helmet is Genuine or not.
It has been offered to me but I am not sure if it's worth 150 Euros or not. The makers mark on the chin strap is

Many Thanks,
Geoff
