Am I missing something?

Tell me I'm not dreaming cool militaria

NSDAP Brocade Belt Buckle - Listing # 792

Named Panzer Visor. Opinions ?

I bought this visor from someone who also sold me two helmets with fake decals so I have concerns about it. The eagle is not original to the cap, I added it for display purposes. The visor is in really good condition with just few wear marks on the back and faded piping. It's difficult to read the maker markings under the plastic insert because of the glare. Pok ***? Pot***? Hirndruckfred ? Deutsches Reichspatent. It's written in fancy script, tough to read named to Oberstleutnant Losche.
Thanks in advance for any information, Al.

double decal helmet Civil Police Helmets 1 black, 1 Grey

I bought this first helmet from a co-workers father who liquidated his collection. I believe it to be 100% original untouched. I know these are not that uncommon but I like the condition of this one. Police square dip helmet, liner with top pad, bordered police eagle, and party shield. I welcome any opinions on this helmet. Thanks, Al.

KM cap

This is a KM cap I bought on ebay on the last days before the ban was in place. The cap is stone mint and I assumed it was a reproduction or movie prop. Also the liner is unconvincing.
However, I found an identical cap on the website below being sold as original. The cap looks exactly like the Auxilary Cruisers side cap shown except for the badge. are they both fake ?

WWII Singer Industrial machine Class 31K47

This maybe of interest to some, here's my WWII Class 31K47 Singer industrial sewing machine, this is a walking foot model, and was the work horse of WWII, this machine was used to make uniforms webbing items and light leather goods. Singers even made a special model 31SV52 (SV + special variety) which was dropped by parachute on D-day, to be used by Rigger units to repair equipment in the combat zone.


Here's the machine as purchased







After restoration and full rebuild, including new paint work and home Decals. cool militaria







This machine had, one careful lady owner from new :D, and although had been modified over the years, they kept all the original parts and spares in an old 24 hr ration pack tin. I was very lucky as the machine had not had a lot of heavy wear, as it had not been used in a factory and so was in fantastic condition, and so it stitches very nicely and works as good as the day it was made at the Clydebank factory in 1940 :D

The original factory delivery labels, and warning tag's
