Polish War Cemetery Bologna, 24 April 2010

Polish War Cemetery in Bologna, 24 April 2010, 65th anniversary of the liberation of the town.
Unfortunately, due to continuous rain, the religious service was not celebrated in the cemetery, but in the nearby church of San Lazzaro di Savena.
After the mass the rain stopped and the "Appell" was held in the cemetery.
I enclose some photos taken a few hours ago.

Two SA Buckles: One better than the other?

Hey, guys. I'd really like to get an SA buckle for my beginning collection and I recently saw these two selling for the same price ($75 USD). I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on these. If I understand correctly from the reverse, the first buckle is an early design(?), the second a later one. Taking into account condition and design, is one of these a better purchase than the other? I like them both!

Any opinions are great :-)

Thanks,
Adam

Question Luftschutz Three-Piece Helmet: Original? Repro Liner?

Hi, all. I saw this Luftschutz helmet for sale recently ($200 USD) and was wondering what people thought. From what I can tell, I think the helmet and decal are original but I am not sure about the liner/chin strap as it looks so new I think it could be a reproduction. Any thoughts on this and whether or not it's a good buy would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Adam
