Important! My Axis Collection, well most of it…

Well after seeing everyones nice stuff I figured I would share some of my personal collection. Included int he following pics is about half. I am too lazy to take pics of everything. To my knowledge everything is authentic, as I have purchased nearly everything from veterans or Honest dealers(Yep they exist). Of course some items are from family members. I am only unsure of one item the Jap flag with rays. got it for $5 on ebay from a seller with 15,000 all positive feedback who claimed it was real. Honestly I dotn care if it is just wanted one for the collection. Well here you go,



































fyi the helmet ont he elft is m40 norwegian once double decal, and the one on right is from Narva, Estonia an m42 i believe


Well thanks fro looking, any comments fire away! If you have doubts about anything let me know I wont be mad at you. :)

Eastern front/ Soviet Aviation Archaeology parts etc

Dear Forum,

I suppose this really goes to you eastern europeans,

I have had a life long love of Aviation archaeology, but I have never heard of a russian /eastern european aviation archaeology group. is there such a thing ??.

I have allways had a love of the IL2 Sturmovik, and would like to perhaps swap / Buy some Data plates Labels, small parts from one of these types, or any thing of interest, I like small pieces, because i can frame them, with history, and put on my wall, it is a nice way of showing off some finds,

and i would love some soviet Data Plates, from ww2 or even a Dug Mig 15 .. which i doubt russains even have a interest in ??:rolleyes::)

Tag Dig:shok_yikes:, Part 2..

I returned to the Army tip this weeekend for another brief dig spending around 3 hours, but in that time I recovered another 219 British Army ID Tags:D. I also found a few other odds and ends (see pictures).
Following on from last week I bottomed it to find the tip is only around 1.5m deep. The bottom layer dates from WW2 and contained various items and is made up of a fair amount of ash.
1) The hole bottomed you can make out the natural tan coloured clay, WW2 is the black and pink ash. I left the spade for scale and yes that is a .303 cartidge lying next to it.
2) A post war .303 ammo box and interesting glass bottle with metal collar and hanging bracket.
3) Various WW2 peices, dated pottery sherds, .303 cartridges and remains of clip and a larger sized .303 which is fatter and slightly shorter?, a fork, a bakelite handle surround and another type of clip (top right hand side)?.
4) Close up showing the larger round.
5) 3 hours digging to find an astonishing 219 British Army ID tags:rolleyes:.
6) Close up of a few.
7) The cleaned ammo box and bottle. Could this bottle be for blood transfusions? (many of the cleaned tags (around 40%) from last weeks dig are RAMC)
8) Bottle close up.
9) The Ammo Box for 300 .303 rounds is dated 1956.

Hey gents,
Need some help with this board. It appears to me to be a post war board? Please confirm or deny era and authenticity.
Photos are the best I could do with what I have.
Your replies appreciated
