Help with Wehrpass Combat Entries

I do not know how to tell if the person in the Wehrpass fought or if he just stayed behind the lines. I know that on page 32 are combat entries, if there is anything on this page does that automatically say he actually fought, or could other information be on that page to.

Here is one that I cant tell on. Did this man serve in combat, or did he not fight? Where would he have fought?

(I noticed on the first combat entrie it looks like the word Krim is in the phrase????)

Looking for help to ID this

I am not sure if I have posted in the right section or not but it seemed to be the logical one for now.

recently I was given this and being honest I do not know much about it. I have included both front and back pictures. On the back it says (? spelling could be off ?)

Corva 6-5-1942 (Hustralia)

Gerolinondo (is written but spelling is unsure) Ballerini

Thanks in advance
Rob

What’s the best Mg you’ve ever owned?

I thought it may be interesting to start another thread on weapons that other collectors have owned - and regretted parting with. To start the ball rolling - here's a picture of a combat-damaged Mg08/15 I had up to a few years ago. The cooling-jacket was painted with the legend 'UNKNOWN' followed by a serial number. This was done by the War Trophies Committee in the 1920's when captured guns were being given out to the various regimental museums. The rods are to show the trajectory of the shrapnel.

Polizei belt and buckle

Hey gang....this one just landed yesterday. Took some time with X-mas rush at the P.O. but it's finally here. What really interested me in this one was the belt - it's a model that I didn't have....so I'm happy to have this one added to the collection.
Both the buckle and the belt are manufactured by Christian Theodor Dicke. Belt is a little stiff but nice to have a matching set. THere's a name on the belt...but I can't quite make it out for certain. No markings on the buckle tab that I can see....Not my first or mintiest police buckle...but I like it. ;)

Thought I'd put up some pics! By the way: anyone know if there's a specific name for this kind of belt? Info would be much appreciated!
Cheers!

Rob
