Advice on cap eagles please

I have been offered these cap eagles, poor pics but all I can get this day. They look kind of bogus to me but I would appreciate an opinion.
Thank you
Bob

British Pathe News website.

Hi Guys, British forum members may recall the old Newsreel films from British Pathe News.

On their website you can view thousands of old newsreels. Just do a search on what ever takes you fancy. Lots of WW2 material to see:

British Pathe

The style is typically British for the era.

Cheers, Ade.

Luftwaffe single decal

I’ve had this for a while. The liner is shot, and looks like it may have been on fire at one point. There is no chin strap. It looked legit to me at the time, but since I have discovered this forum, and posted a few things, I’m not too sure any more :)

Anyone?

Need help! I need help identifying this Tunic…

Can anyone help me identify this Tunic?

Also, can you tell from the photos whether or not everything about it is authentic?

What about it's collector value... any clue how much it's worth?

Thanks!
Dzyner

Collar tab

I received this today, and I am not to sure about it.
The picture is not clear, but the reverse does not have the heavy burlap material, it is smooth shiny cardboard with a very faint '14' penciled in on it.
I am thinking that is not authentic. Any ideas?

thanks for the help.

Help required with M1 Korean issue.

Hi Guys,

Here's another M1 from my collection.

Korean issue,all standard really, except....:confused:
I'm wondering if any one can answer a question i have?
The liner is puzzling me, It appears to have never been painted,or if someone did, they did a very good job of removing the finish. A while back i saw a similiar liner not painted, but i can't remember where,but i'm sure there was a reason for non painted liners... ..maybe i dreamt it ??:shok_yikes:

:confused:The second question is ,in the liner there a capac,westhouse?, and a D marking, how come you can have 3 different markings in one liner??

Anybody out there, can help??

Cheers

British 1st pattern AFV steel helmet

Hi Guys, as I mentioned this pattern of helmet in another thread I thought that I would show an example here. Sadly, I do not own this one. But I had the pleasure of examining this one in detail at the museum where it is on display.

Please read the label which tells the story behind this helmet.

Cheer, Ade.

French army greatcoat WWII?

Hello.

A greatcoat for identification please. I assumed that it was French army, second world war, at first. It is certainly made in France (Nantes), but at least two of the details are wrong. There are no cuffs or buttons on the ends of the sleeves, and it lacks the buttons near the bottom edge, for fastening back the front of the coat. Your thoughts would be welcome please.

Andy.
