Hello
Could you please Identify the helmet
Thanks
Ron
Greetings, A continuation of my post from the uniform section showing the buckle in my collection. No stamps that I can see on the back.
I have two Austrian Belt Buckles in my collection, one is steel (#1) and one is brass (#2). They are similar but not the same (check the crest and the crown). I cant find much information on these buckles- a lot on Imperial Germany, but not on Imperial Austrian. Do they look ok to you guys; are they both from the same period?
Can anyone translate this?
Guys, this is probably a Battle of the Bulge photo; thought you'd like to have a look. Best, Hal
Last week i was in a army surplus shop looking for a warmer jacket than i had on as i work outdoors and i was freezing.I walked around the shop browsing and didnt really find much that was in the price range to get ripped and totally messed up with cement etc plus the fact 130 miles away where i live i have a garage full of big warm jackets .I got talking to the guy behind the counter on the way out of the door dissapointed that i had found nothing and was going to continue being cold for the day.As i was talking in the corner high on a shelf on a display head i saw the back of a flying helmet very interested i asked if it was for sale and he got it down for me.I nearly fell over it was a named ww2 c-type with a rare wartime dated Htype oxygen mask fully wired.I asked him if it was for sale and he said well more of a display item really ‘bloody thing has sat up there for years your the only bloke ever to ask about it .Some old bloke bought it in years ago and i gave him a couple of quid for it novelty reasons really’ Basically the conversation went on and i remained cold for the day with a smile on my face took it home and clean the thick dust from it and treated the helmet the mask is mint i cant beleive it still.I would love to know more about the origional owner but guess i will never find out.
