For sale: NSDAP Double-Sided Pennant

Original multi-piece double sided pennant for sale. Made from to separate panels of satin-like material sewn together with lanyard cord colored with the German national colors. The red material has faded to a light red color. White disks and the Swaz's are also separate pieces. Length is approx. 27 inches by 8 inches across the top . There is a hanging rod across the top but it is broken unfortunately...Still able to hang and display nicely.

I have posted this on many forums and all the conclusions were that it is a genuine, probably privately made piece. Very unique pennant.

odd knuckle duster

Hi Gent's
i tried posting this critter in other areas , but i'm not getting much help in finding out what it is. i believe its U.S. stacked leather handle, steel knuckles, and what looks to be an m-3 style blade. only markings i can find are on the bow, l l 0 greatfull for any help, i can't find another like it. definitly not home made. sheath seems to be original to it because of the grip strap. it is longer than others for the bigger grip, and original to the sheath.
thank you, andrew

Fallschirmjaeger Helmet Real or Fake?

Hi Guys, just joined the forum today, I have always wanted to collect german helmets, but have always been wary of doing so because of the amount of reproduction stuff available now. The fact i am a total beginner also and know nothing about helmets whatsoever means i stand a very good chance of being suckered into buying a fake. Just recently came into a small amount of money and decided i would love to have a Fallschirmjaeger helmet, ive always wanted one, but could never afford it...tracked this one down and the seller says its totally genuine (although he would say that). any comments on its authenticity would be greatly appreciated. Ive posted the photographs recieved and have had the helmet sent to me on approval, which is why i dearly need some advice quickly, so i can return it if it turns out to be a fake.

Question Have you ever seen a skull ring like that one?

I bought it some years ago in overlord1944.com, the seller said that he bought this ring togheder with another items of WWII, but he didn't know what kind of ring it's. It's silver, inside appears 835.
That's all the information I have.
I hope you will help me, Thanks.
