Deutsches Reichsbahn-Wasserschutzpolizei Visor…

...at least I am 95% sure that this is what organisation this hat belongs to. There is very little written about this organisation, and my limited research reflects that the purpose of the DRB-WSP was to protect rolling stock during transfer to watercraft for transport by sea. I cannot find any pics of this organisation, nor the regs for the same, but they did exist--they even had their own dagger (albeit only about 6 exist in collections to this day).

Apparently, they were absorbed by the Bahnschutzpolizei in 1941, and therefor never transitioned to the new insignia:

Need help! Please ID this knife?!

I found a Nazi knife/dagger in my grandmothers basement. Almost 100% positive it's the real thing. My great uncle was in the army in WWII.

It's a jagged knife the point is square. On the handle is a wide cross and underneath it is the swatika. all surrounded by a eagle.

I has looking for any information.
Worth?


If you can't help can you send me in the right direction?
I also have a bayonet I found with it.

Need help! Trying to ID this Tokarev Pistol…Are you an expert?

Hello to everyone. I have searched the internet high and low, and I can not find another Tokarev like the one that I have. From what I have learned about them, I am thinking that the one that I have is a Chinese Type 51, but I am certainly not sure. The most interesting thing about mine is that it has only one mark of any sort. There is a 5 clearly stamped on the underside of the top slide (you can see it in the picture below). Other than that, this one is plain Jane. There are no import marks, no serial numbers, nothing. I thought that this might be an M20, but even those seem to have serial numbers. Can anyone make heads or tales out of this one? Thank you to everyone for their help with this. Oh, and I found this forum VIA my Google researching session on the Tokarevs. Thanks again guys!





Early Overhoff SS and belt added to collection

Hey guys....Here's my newest SS buckle. It's my first early Overhoff - so I'm quite happy to have it added to the buckle collection. I have a considerable number of buckles....but that said: only 2 SS......One early Overhoff and one late Overhoff. Would like to find a nice RODO with lots of paint remaining - but that battle will be fought some other time!

Here are some pics of the new addition. It included a combat belt - but no SS markings so no way of knowing if these were always together. But interesting to note that the belt was shortened in a very different manner.
Usually the belt is shortened on the end where the buckle slips on .... this one was shortened on the other side where you find the buckle clip! Looks period done and interesting to see who the leather was cut and "re-folded" over.

Cheers!

Rob

M40/43 helmets

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me the difference between the M40 and M43 German WW2 helmets, and are the liners interchangable?
The picture is of an M40, (I was told), the liner has a (??) XII 43 marking.
Many thanks for any info.
Cheers,
navyman.

Guys, I've had this set for a long time but I'm not sure if they go together. Thought you'd like to have a look. Regards, Hal PS; The stamp on the belt did not show in pic, but It reads 7.39 B.A. Fu.
