Luftwaffe Purse,

Hi,
Im not sure if i have shown this before, but i have just looked at Ostlanddigger,s item and seen a German purse that reminded me of this. It was given to me by an old veteran now past over, he took it from a young german prisoner that they captured.
The medals in it are ww1, like most items in there. so i think it was
his dads, The cap badge was his own, he was part of a sherman tank crew.

Dave.

Question On which forum should I seek help identifying Polish item?

My late father, a first generation Polish-American, served in the US Army in Europe during WW2. Among his artifacts I found what appears to be a Polish pin attached to a card from a hotel in Switzerland where he was on leave.

I have reviewed hundreds of items of Polish militaria on the web and have not been able to identify it.

On which forum should I post this for help? Photo uploaded.

Thanks,

Leonard H. Cizewski, USA

M1 Garand from 1943

Gentlemen,

Quoting the rifleman´s creed:

"This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend.
It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
Etc."

This is an unmolested, untouched sample of a wartime Springfield M1 rifle, manufactured around october-november 1943. All parts, serial and heat numbers match 100%.

I bought it from a spanish hunter from Andalucia who bought it many years ago from an american military stationed at the Moron airbase, and had stored it because he "it was too rude" to shoot compared to his other weapons. The hunter knew it was a military weapon, but not much more. I payed about 200 U.S. dollars for it in 2001.

The nicest part is that it is live, not deactivated. In Spain, caliber 30.06 is considered a hunting ammo. True you cannot have a weapon that loads 8 bullets, but I did not tell them when I got the license and the authorities did not bother to find out. I only have only shot the rifle once, and it was absolutely incredible.

I hope you like it.



Regards,

Gus
