Despite many searches of this area amazingly I still locate items even if they are not spectacular.
I found a leather pouch with metal buckles that look like they may be German. I think the pouch below is a binocular pouch but I cannot be sure does anyone have any suggestions
Also found another metal buckle that may be from German webbing but I dont recognise it. Also found a 20 mm round indicating that the area had been straffed

Hello guys,
is there any way to tell the difference between a WWI EKI made during the first war and the post-war examples? thanks
Here is the finest example of a Luger that I have had the priveledge of owning. This is a 100% matching number example, including the firing pin, magazine and grips. To the best of my knowledge, the unit marking on the front strap denotes a Dragoon Unit, and I believe the "St." denotes Stabs Wache or Staff Guard - indeed very rare. The piece has never been refinished.
i have a belt buckel that is from 1938 .it has the war bird that is carring a swaztica in its claws . this item is in great condition and has the leather strap part that has date on it how do i find whats its worth. then the 2nd item i have is a carved statue i believe its made of rock. it is a mother and two children i think it is marked ussr but i cant seam to find any thing that even closely match this keep sake. please help me????
five minutes separate me to get my very first Panzervernichtungsabzeichen.
A abzeichen I have always be fond of.

Hi, i thought it was time i learnt to upload photo's, and show some of my collection, i shall (slowly) add pics over the next few weeks (or years), i collect Imperial German 1870-1918, & tend to live an edwardian lifestyle, indeed ive only just got used to the funny 'clicky thing' on the wall that makes the lights go on !....i much prefer parrafin & a wick !, only joking. Well i got my lad to take some photo's & play around with photoworkshop, hope you like what you see. first up one of my Dunkelblau or Bunter rock tunics, this one is a doeskin wool private purchase tunic of 'Kanonier Kanngiesser,(has owners name tag sewn in), 6th Fahr Batt. Batt 2. Feld Artill Regt Nr 22' or in plain english 2nd Westphalian Field Artillery Regiment number 22. It is lined in black and contains a tailors label for 'B. Jeckelmann. Munster. i/w' it is in great condition and untouched, it was featured in Johan Somers excellent book 'Imperial German Field Uniforms & Equipment' Volume 2. also included is my M15 Artillery Kugelhelm. Lets see if this lot uploads.
Cheerio for now.
I've been told, by a German policeman, that it is possible to get a permit to metal detect in Germany. Is this true and if so anybody out there can help? I know of some great areas where finds are possbile.
