SS Division Nordland documents !!

Here are a few of the documents from my SS Document collection.

They all relate to SS Panzer Pionier Btl 11 of the Nordland Divison.

This document has the rare signature of SS Sturmbannfuhrer Hermann Voss the commander of the Btl and a famous Narvakampfer.

Question When Did the British Army go metric ?

My question concerns headgear in the British Army.

When Did the British Army stop using the measurement of inches for helmets and beret sizing ?

Is this a soviet WW2 cap??

Is this soviet WW2 or post war?

Relic Brodie

Hi,
As i like to collect relic helmets i thought i would show this relic brodie that arrived today, i bought it from a guy in France.
As i havent seen alot of battlefield damaged brodies i thought i would grab this one. It,s in good condition for a relic from W.W.2,
but i have no history on it.

Unknown Karabiner

Hello everyone.

Got a piece of ground dug mystery on my hands. It's some sort of equipment karabiner, the left side (unfortunately the top of the hook is broken) looks like the water bottle one and the right side has a broader lip that closes on a pin protruding from the frame. Into the jaws of the right side was stuck an aluminium grommet that (i guess) was fixed onto some strap that rotted...

So here it is. unknown piece of Al

If anyone can help me with the identity of this thing and maybe with a picture of a complete one, i'd be in great debt.

Thank you in advance.

Help Me Identify My Helmet

Could any one please help me identify my helmet, it is a black gloss coloue with air holes in the side, it also has a couple of "slits" on the top and one just above the rim on the back.
It has a makers stamp inside which reads
BXF VORSHRIFTSMASSIG LT. GESETZ & dated 3.5.34
there are various ink markings to the leather the owner has also written his intitials O.HB.
The liner & strap are in excellent condition.
If any one could identify it and maybe value you it I would appreciate it
Thank you

Waffen SS cap

I have seen a post here about a ss oversea without insignia, the piping style on the top of the SS oversea is not always a truth, I have this one for details...





Wanted: 10×10 German medal box with gold eagle and swasitka.

I never got an e-mail from the website on the picture and I can't find it anywhere else so far.

Thank you.
