Hello Folk's
my intention here is for a bit of fun discussion on LACK of quality, on things you might expect better. for ( original WW2 ) items, or atleast thought to be original.
i would like to see members post odd ball items that they own, or have just found pictures of. just to show how the quality we usually expect of things, may not always be the case.
this is not ment to be a value appraisel or if you would want to own it or not. just a realistic look at the lack of quality in some original things.
please post pic's or link's'
i'll start it off with the SS prof. badge. a beautyfull looking badge from the front, a rare item, but look at how the runes attach to the back. not knowing, i have passed on a couple of these over the years, only based on how the back looks. not even close to the quality i expected. but now after some research, it seems it is correct. but seeing bent over pins, instead of rivits ? kind of makes you want to put it down and walk away.
next will be an Assman RO/AG that will give you nightmares.
have fun with this thread.
Hello everyone, first post so hopefully someone can help...
I am looking for war time records for Lancaster Pilot Frank J Cox was definately piloting lancaster bombers from 1943-end of war.
I think he may have been promoted to a squadron leader but am unsure.
Any ways that people know on finding out information on him would be greatly appreciated. He is my grandad but the dreaded curse of Altzheimers has claimed most of his wartime memorys and i can only just recall the stories that he told me growing up so i would like to find out more about him.
Many Thanks for any help
Mongoose!
Is this decal original? I'm not sure because it's on the left side of the helmet.
I hope you'll help me, thanks.
