Hi Guys,

Here i have another M42 to show you all, and ask for your comments or opinions.

This one has ( hopefully shown in the pic's) hkp 64 and 3554 in the rim, it has a apple green type finish, but showing through this paint is a bluey/grey colour. I have fitted a repro liner ( which i have tried to age to compliment the shell)

I don't normally tend to agree with fitting repro items to helmets, but it was a winter project, and kept me out of the way from the wife!!
It does display better with a liner never the less.
Enjoy:)

Cheers
Gaz

I hearth about this Big Hole in the Netherland at the Leusderheide, but does have anyone more informatie about the ”big hole”??

it is like 10-15 KM from my home and want to take an look and shoot some pics.

greets DE

Got this in yesterday and think it a good piece. The maker's markings on the gold is identical to my bronze one by the same maker. The catch and hinge/pin are slightly different, but I hope they cause no reason for concern. Your opinions are needed.
Thank you.
Tom

hello first of all. my name is liam and im 20 years young and i live in Durham, UK

since i was very young ive been interested in WWII. its always been an interest of mine and now id like to get hold of a few things that i can display in my house. but i need advise on a few things…

where is the best place to get things? eg: car boot sales, ebay, collectors?

how do i know what im buying is real?

i am not by means wanting to start a collection. but get together a couple of things that i like.

i am very interested in getting a copy of ‘mein kampf’…
this is the one that has caught my eye:
Mein Kampf on eBay (end time 26-Jan-10 15:06:29 GMT)

what is a general price for an item like this?
does anyone have one for sale in the lower price range? (i am not a wealthy man by any standards)

PS. sorry for my lack of knowledge:)

Heres a cased commemorative Medal of 1 October 1938 for the Erinnerung an den 1 October 1938 in addition a docment reflecting the occasion awarded to a soldier.

Hi Guys,

I want to share these photo's with you, and hopefully to get some info or way's to find out about it's original owner.

This helmet (rear seam) has been marked near the "S" and the heat stamp 533A with the name John Love ,
I hope the scratched in name is original , and also assume that he was an NCO judging by the faint markings on the rear of this lid, again i think i am right in saying , these markings were only used in the ETO.

Any advice or info guy's.( Ps. i have'nt shown any pic's of the liner as its post war Belgian, so no point really)

Cheers
Gaz

I picked up this badge a number of years ago. Can someone identify this piece for me? I would also appreciate some idea of value if possible. I hate to ask price but this piece is way out of my collecting area. Thanks for your reply.

I wanted to share pics of a couple of signed prints of Knight's Cross recipient Maj. Walter Krupinski and an Me163b as flown by test pilot Rudolf Opitz. I've had these hanging in my study for years and wanted to give them a little exposure. My interest in these is primarily the visual artwork, not so much the signatures. They both came with certifiucate of authenticity but I suppose those could easily be duplicated as well. My kids affectionately refer to Maj. Krupinski as uncle Walter. Enjoy, Al.
