My M35 Helmet

A couple of pictures of my M35 I picked up last year. As far as I can tell, the liner has never been removed. The washers are a very tight fit. There is a bit of pitting and loss of paint, but apart from that it's fine. Makers mark is very hard to read.

2 Spanish blades

Hello folks, here are my only two Spanish blades. The bayonet I think is pretty common? The knife I was told was a commando knife? Any info on it would be great. Thank you.

Please help ID this holster

Hi all,

Long time lurker, fresh poster.

I have a holster that I'd like some help identifying. It fits a Browning Hi Power (P35) and magazine perfectly. Black leather, full flap, brass hardware. It is very similar the the holster featured on the cover of the Blue Book of Gun Values about 3 or 4 years ago. I have shown it next to a WW2 1911A1 holster for a size comparison.

Thanks in advance.



Question Luftwaffe cap set

For me that set is perfectly original, what about your opinions on it?

Help ID this buckle/Belt (Wehrmacht parade buckle?)

I have a dilemma - my 80 year old Dad is an avid collector of German WWII memorabilia, but I know nothing about the subject. An acquaintance of mine is selling off a bunch of his stuff, and he got this belt along with a bunch of knives (which he collects). I’ve spent a few hours researching the buckle, and it appears to be a Parade buckle (zinc), but it has absolutely no markings or stampings on either the buckle or the belt.

I’d love to get it for my Dad and present it to him as a gift, but I want to make sure it is collectible first, and also learn as much about the "back story" as possible.

Can anyone help me ID this belt and provide some background information?

Thanks in advance!

-Brent
