German radios

Last week I bought these radios. They were found in a barn only 10 kilometres from my house. Since I am not a radioman I need your help to identify them. I also wonder if they are rare, and what the marked value is

Best regards agv44

2 german lids from my hometown

These 2 lids were found after the battles between the Tito partisans and the german troops on the hills surrounding my town. they are both battle damaged too.
They are just ordinary relic lids, but for me they are special since I know their story and how brutal were the fights around here.

Alvis Saracen Wrecks

These wrecks are on my local MOD firing ranges, a lot of the parts have been taken as trophes, from people who have shot at them in exercises. Someone has even taken the doors off one!

Collecting for 50 years, WOW!!!!!!

I just saw this clip on YouTube and found it very telling. This fellow has been collecting for 50 years, and regularly travels overseas to buy items for his collection.

Well it just goes to show that, because you have been collecting for 50 years, and can afford to buy everything that catches your eye, it doesn't make you an expert :o(.

YouTube - Phil and his medal collection

You, really have to feel pity for this fellow, I wonder just how many of his friends knew, but couldn't bring themselves to let him know his collection is peppered with fakes? :o


Cheers,

Grant

When ? 36m Mk1 Grenade

Does anybody have an approximate date for when the British 36m Mk1 Mills hand grenade was first issued ?
Also the cup discharging plates .. when were they first used with the 36m Mk1. ?
And to finish ... was the colour gold painted onto 36m Mk1's to indicate rifle discharge units ?

Ärmel-Edelweiss der Waffen-SS

Hi, mates !

Wanna show you a sleeve-badge of the Mountain troop´s of the Schutz-Staffel.

The Edelweiss of the Waffen-SS was larger, than the common Edelweiss of the Wehrmacht Mountain-troop´s and different in the design.


Cheers,

R.
