Wanted: Original photos from Norway

Hi, I am looking for German photographs taken in Norway during WW2.

And if anybody has any photographs of "Costal artillery" or photos from the region of "Agder" (Mandal, Kristiansand, Lista, Arendal)
It would be like Christmas for me!

Pleas send me a PM with your photos or "good news" :)
(Or if you know about a dealer that has the type of items I am interested in )

Thanks! :)

Luftwaffe SD camo

Guy's. I thought I'd share this little gem that I picked up recently. It's a bit tired, and the decal is not crisp and clear, but it is a nice original un messed, un touched camo complete with a gorgeous chinstrap, I think this one reeks with character. I know Dave (scrooge) has seen it in person. And he loved it;)

There isn't a whole lot of camo left, but it has some terrific traces of light green all over.

I've tried to take the pictures in natural daylight to show it's true potential. (offers invited :D)

HELP!-Cleaning German double decal helmet

I found this German kriegsmarine double decal helmet in a bunker in Norway a while back.

Since the bunker is a " Costal defense bunker" and it is located near the ocean, it has been attacked by the "sea air" even inside the bunker.

How should I clean it without removing the original paint and decals?
I live in Norway and I have read about this "oxalic acid" stuff on this forum before, but I don`t know if this product is available in Norway?

Thanks :)

US Army Dumping Ground.

HELLO Everyone,

I had to abandon the proposed dig on the US Army supplies dumping ground planned for Saturday. A few members had hoped to be able to make it but couldnt and a pal who was going to come rang me and told me he couldnt make it, without metal detectors i would have been blind digging so decided to leave it for another time now. The following pictures represent a tiny amount of the many and varied finds that are coming out of the ground there, and will give an idea of the great condition of many of the finds. I have found aircraft engine valves, 40mm Bofors projectiles, aircraft rivet guns, burnt remains of tunics and brass tunic buttons, cartridge casings plus good load of unidentified stuff. The view photo is taken from the Luftwaffe bomb crater and the tree line is where most of the items are found, but who knows what lies beneath other parts of the field or surrounding fields as i havent looked in the others yet but the prognosis for more interestinf stuff looks very promising. Thanks to all those who are still interested and hope we get something sorted again soon. Regards, Tim.
