Wanted: Genuine German WW2 Gas Mask case wanted

Anyone have a decent ww2 german gas mask tin I can buy for a sensible price? The 11" by 5" round cylindrical tin type. Just need one in half decent nick with the lid and catch still working. Don't need the webbing straps or gas mask, just a complete tin with working lid and catch? TMLBetts@hotmail.com if you have one. Colour is unimportant, but one with date stamp or maker mark would be good.

Question What is this piece of WWII German Equip.?

Hi Guys:
This is my first post to this forum. It concerns a piece of
WWII German equipment. Please check out the following
photos. I have no idea what it was used for, some have
offered ideas but nothing definite. In the pics the round
circular pieces are actually translucent celluloid with numbers
and marks on them (they don't show up too well in the
pics. I think they are translucent so that light can shine
through from the bottom and they can be seen at night?
Thanks,
Bob32268

Bastogne

Hallo...
I'm planning a trip to Bastogne to have a look at museums and so on. Because through the following year I have to write a thesis about the Battle of the Bulge as presented in the film "Battleground".

Does anybody know any good museums/sights in Bastogne or does anybody know a veteran who fought in the Battle of the Bulge?
Please please help me.
Thank you.
best wishes

Russian Belt Buckle! Can anyone identify?

Hello Forum

This is my first post.

Can anyone identify this belt Buckle?

This belt buckle was brought back from my partners great great grandfather from the 1st world war, I think? It was given to my partners grandmother who died aged 91 some years ago from her father when she was just a girl.

Anyway, I told my mother in law who was given the buckle by her mom that I would look it up on the Internet and this seems the most knowledgeable after doing a little research!

Here are some images, I hope you guys can help with the history. Thanks!
