I found this items within a few feet, as if everything larger was collected for use as scrap metal. The pedal made me think it might have been some small AA gun, or something similar with a trigger pedal. The battlefield dates of mid-april 1945.
Any clue?
Hi Guys, Im looking for some help here... I am looking at purchasing this but I am unsure what I am looking at really..it looks ok to me but I have never spent any time looking over these ...the damage looks fairly minimal and I thought they used domes rather than buttons is about the only real observation I have.. opinions please.... as to value as well. Thanks , Tim

Guys, this was given to me by a neighbor when I lived in Phila, Pa. many years ago. He said it belonged to his uncle but could not give any pertinent information. It looks put together but this is how he handed it to me and I kept it that way. Best, Hal
Hi All,
I know these photos are horrible, but unfortunately its all the owner can get me with their camera. I know some of you are good enough to spot a fake a mile away so I'm hoping these photos have enough detail to tell you whether or not they're authentic.
I've identified all but the crossed anchors badge, and the solid round badge so any help identifying these two is appreciated as well.
Hope you can help!
Thanks,
Dzyner
Hello ! Here it is ! Today I bought it and I also bought from the same person the cased EK 2 too. Both are three part constructed and magnetic iron centered. However has someone seen such kind of EK 2 case ?
Hi' Guys,Looking a box for the order of the german eagle 4th class.Original would be a dream!,but reproduction would be fine came up against a brick wall. please make my day!
Hi Guy's.
Here is my latest M1 ( arrived yesterday)
The liner is Firestone, with the A steel washers,and head band spring clips painted Olive drab. c 1943-1944, I believe.
Quite chuffed as this is the first lid I have bought that's 90% complete, therefore the nape strap is a bonus feature to me.:)
The lid it's self has no chinstrap's:weep:, which is a bummer, but I will look through my box of spares and see what I got!
It appears to have some sort of rank / marking on the front,which is silver in colour. This one is unusual to me at least, in that the bales are only temp attached, (only welded on the Middle part,the outside weld's were not attatched as far as i can work out) and has a weld spot/dimple opposite the bales,on the stainless rim.:confused::confused:
Enjoy ,any comments, observations or any more info would be great , cheers Guy's.:D
