A other cap of my collection, very interesting because the maker is eReL and the sweaband Clewens Wagner added in period...

Here's a few pictures of a Japanese Civil-Defence helmet I purchased last December. I obtained it from a woman in Hiroshimashi - a town which lies a few miles outside Hiroshima. The owners name is written on the liner inside - Tanaka Tokutaro.

I admit my knowledge of Japanese helmets is limited, but I have seen these helmets being sold as 'late war combat helmet with last ditch liner.' There was one being sold on e-bay recently for a fairly large sum. A naval badge had replaced the star on the front, and the helmet was being advertised as a 'vet bring-back naval landing helmet.' I cannot say if these helmets WERE used by the armed forces, all I do know is that the ones being offered for sale in Japan are described as Civil-Defence helmets.

PPV Network Review: DirectCPV If you’ve read my other posts on PPV, you know I’m a fan of Media Traffic and their PPV network. This is the place that 90% of the people I talk to start out with PPV. That being said, there are other options out there. A newer network that I heard about recently is DirectCPV. Since I had a few people asking me about it, I decided to give it a test run to see how it stacks up to the other guys.First of all, the interface may look familiar to you when you log in and setup a campaign. This is due to the fact that DirectCPV is white labeling the CPView platform. This does not mean that DirectCPV is the same thing as CPView, they have a different user base with the adware installed so it is a completely different network.It is relatively simple to get a campaign set up with the interface, you put in your Landing Page url (affiliate link), give it a name, and then you add in at least one type of targeting (URL, keyword, or category). I put in about 20 URLs from a quick Google search and decided to try out a couple keywords as well. One thing to note here is that DirectCPV does not have anywhere near the number of adware users that some of the bigger networks have, so you might be a bit safer testing out new keywords here (keywords on the big networks can mean your whole budget gone in the blink of an eye).I let it run for a few days and when I came back to check my stats (using Prosper202) I was pleasantly surprised that my campaign was profitable right off the bat. It wasn’t a home run, but it did make money. I decided to make a couple of minor tweaks at that point. The first thing was checkout my Prosper202 to see what URLs were converting. As is often the case, all the conversions were coming from one URL. I noticed that some of them were coming from the Keyword that I had put in instead of the direct URL. The problem with that is that the bid price for the Keyword was 0.08 (8 cents) and the bid for the direct URL was 0.01 (1 cent). Simple fix there, I paused the Keyword and added the URL to my targeting. After that the profits were decent.The main gripe I have about the DirectCPV interface is that you have to click “Check Bid” on each URL individually to see if you are in 1st position. Other networks have done this better, but you can take some of the hassle out of it by setting the bid mode to Auto and then setting it at 1st position. This will automatically increase your bid if somebody is above you. Also if you want to Geo Target your campaign, you have to do it after the campaign is setup, you can’t do it during the campaign creation. This stumped me the first time.Final word? I like DirectCPV. I think it’s worth a shot especially if you have a profitable campaign on another network that you are looking to expand. It can also be good for testing out a new campaign to if it converts without blowing your budget since there is a smaller installed user base, there is less competition, and the bid prices start at 1 penny (at MT it is 1.5). It doesn’t have as much traffic as the bigger guys, but from what I saw it can definitely be a good source to add to your repertoire.If you signup through my affiliate link here you can get a $25 credit by using the promo code “BR25″ Sign Up For DirectCPV

Starting out with PPV Campaigns:Before you start trying to build your PPV Campaign, you should know that there are certain offers and promotion methods that seem to work better than others for PPV.Here are two really popular ways to promote offers via PPV:1. Sending traffic to a short, easy to fill out lead generation form. No landing page required, just directly linking to the offer. 2. Capturing email leads and then emailing the leads products and services. (Drip method)I would say that method 1 is probably the most popular, but I will be going over both methods. Direct Linking With PPV:When you are direct linking with PPV, make sure the campaign is a lead generation short form. Dating, insurance leads, education, etc. These are all huge campaigns that just require a lead to make money. When you direct link in PPV, the idea is to make sure the offer page is very eye catching and simple. If it’s overly complicated, your profits will start to go down.Email Capture Method With PPV:Capturing emails is one sure fire method to make money off customers over and over. In the section before this one, I explain email marketing a bit. I highly recommend you use Aweber for all your email marketing campaigns. With email capturing on PPV, you use a simple page and a captivating headline to draw people into giving their name and email.Enticing them with free stuff, like an ebook, works wonders. If you’re aiming for a younger crowd (20-something and below), try something besides an ebook… be creative.Once you have their email, you can set them up (using Aweber) on an automated course of emails. Just think… you could send them multiple related offers each week.Although you won’t see profits as instantly as you will with directly linking, this method can result in some great long term profits. Just think… having a slow day? Email your list… You paid for them already, so why not?Building Your PPV Campaign:When you begin to build your PPV campaign, I recommend you start just with URL bidding. URL bidding is a lot more precise than using keywords and makes it a bit easier to earn a profit. To find URLs you can use many methods.You can Google search a topic such as “auto insurance” and then get the top 50-100 results and copy the URL into your campaign. This can be a highly effective method. As people begin to search for auto insurance, each time they click a result, they will also see your page. This can lead to some great results.Other methods for getting URLs to bid on include using sites such as Quantcast, Alexa, and Google Ad Planner to find websites that have the demographics you are looking for. How Many Targets Should You Start With?I recommend you start with at the very least 20 ?C 100 for most campaigns and expand from there. Optimizing Your PPV Campaigns:The best way to optimize your PPV campaigns is to use Prosper202 (self-hosted) or Tracking202 (web hosted version ?C simpler). You can optimize your PPV campaigns using the 202 software fairly easily but first you will need to either install prosper202 or setup a free tracking202.com account. There is a lot of documentation about installing and setting up the 202 software, so I won’t be covering it in this guide. If you have questions, you can visit the 202 software forum: Prosper202 ForumBidding For PPV:When you bid on PPV keywords / urls, a very common strategy is to shoot for position 1 by outbidding the top place by the minimum amount allowed. So let’s say the top bid is $0.011. You should bid $0.012.Having your tracking setup, you can then track and see if being in the top spot for that domain or keyword is worth it. Adjust down based on conversions and go from there.PPV Landing PagesWhen you try using a landing page on PPV networks, there are a few methods you can use. The first is to buy or make a landing page that is simple. Essentially everything on the website should be focused on getting the user to click through to the affiliate offer or enter their email.If you make your landing page, try making the landing page look exactly like the merchants page. Doing so will get the user clicking and not even notice that they are going from one site to another (your landing page to the affiliate offer). If you’re looking to buy a landing page, a great place to check out is the LPDesigner website. This is an amazing website where you can buy a pack of 16 templates for $20! Each month there is a new set of landing pages released and it’s well worth the money for the caliber of landing pages. Many of these landing pages are perfect for email capturing and other popular PPV landing page methods!

Hello, New to the forum. I may have picked up what I believe to be an original Black Brigade buckle. I have not yet photographed it but I will get a digital shot soon. It is marked Recht en Trouw and has a single sigrune. All I know about the organization is that it was a Dutch NS group in the Flanders area. Any help on authenticating will be appreciated. It does not have any paint finish left and apparently is steel judging by the rust/patina. Neil Hever

Here's one more bad SS disc that illustrates well one more of the easy ways to recognize a fake- as before it's quite clear and unambiguous and not tricky at all and this photograph is definitely good enough to spot the problem.

The text reads:
