problem with new post

Hello gents, can you help please, I posted a thread on here and also on the helmet section the other day concerning the correct positioning of luftwaffe eagles on helmets. I had two replies and then i asked another question about the subject in hand. I noticed that my initial question has been removed from here and the other section, is there a reason why, did i post them wrongly or is there a time limit.Thanks Dave

Kreigsmarine eagle ?

Had this one for awhile and even after all the research cannot positivly decide if shes authentic or not. I’ve seen a few that are very close. Pictures of the back are bad but there appears to be a faint RZM left side lower wing. Or is this just another pigeon head…

Birds of a Feather

Talk about luck, just found a second model RLB Officers dagger w/hangers and maker marked"Weyersberg" - Although I already have one the blade is not maker marked and I always wanted a maker dagger. So now I have two second model RLB,s and they are both in terrific condition.

Need help! SS M40 SD Helmet with Waffen SS DOT Pattern Camouflage

Just purchased this Unique single decal SS helmet with an unusual style camouflage. It looks like a Waffen SS type DOT pattern seen on SS camouflage fabrics.

Anyone see anything like this before? Based on the decal, do you think this helmet is legit? Please let me know what you think! I have not received the helmet yet, but I will upload more pictures when I do. I have a brief inspection period so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Need help! political org. belt marks

Among the political org. belts I have there is one which puzzles me. It's obviously a period belt, brown with age wrinkled surface and has obviously carried something heavy for a time on a D ring because it's very slightly stretched in the middle where the small of the back would be, the inner side of this region is dark with sweat/grime stainins. The belt has the usual rivetted nickel buckle catch and the tongue is stitched so the stitching can't be seen on the outside. The tongue has an RZM stamp within the usual double circles but is stamped below as M7/36, any ideas please?

unidentified insignia

Heres a few pieces I could never identify. Anyone have any clues if they are even period or Third Reich at all ? Even a hint in which direction to research could help. No makers marks, the backs are smooth, except the Stahlhelm which is stamped. They are the size of a US quarter.

Fibre rim despatch riders helmet

Hi, 3 fibre rims that I'd like to show. 1 is in very good condition, the other is quite good, & the other pretty poor. As with the airbourne fibre rims, they are all dated 1942. If anyone has any info on them, or could show some pics of there's, that would be great. thanks. Aaron.
