Polish cap badge

Can any Forum member give me any information regarding this cap badge. It is made of brass and has no makers details on the reverse. It does not appear quite as clean on the obverse as in the picture. This is due to my scanner!

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Need help! German Military & Ancestors

Hi Group,

I know this may be off topic, but I am trying to get some information on relatives. They may have fought in WW1 or WW2. My great grandfather came to America in 1894 at the age of 16. He left Hamburg Germany and I am trying to retrace my roots from where he lived. I was curious to see if I could find out any military background on relatives related to me. My last name is "Krebs" and any help t owhere I may be able to go would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....Tom....TPK25

British airborne helmet

Hi finally got my ww2 British para helmet did love it at first but unsure now i know the strap is a repro the guy who sold me it said he knew it was and gave me the web one to change over to if i prefered.The liner looks old was a bit suspect at why the date is gone but gave him the benefit of the doubt.Now that i receive it in the post ive turned up the leather band and it looks new ? but the rest old?? very puzzled guys then again should it look as good as new but the rest old ? i know it has seen no light for a long time but thought it would age also.The leather band that holds the liner in is broke in places so is definately old i think.
