Here are a few items that I dug in Italy during the late 1990s (I have litterally tons). The first is a German vehicle box from the town of San Pietro, just south of Monte Cassino. It has traces of ordnance tan paint with slight traces of steciling on the lid. Note the extreme tears from shrapnel damage. Any idea what vehicle it when to?





This is a German aluminium MG-34/MG-42 ammunition box that I found near Anzio. Note the red cross painted on the outside and the large letter E on the lid. When I found it it was filled with belted ammunition. It also has a large shrapnel tear through the bottom and side. So much for being medical supplies:



Last is a German yardstick mine recovered from behind Monte Cassino. Note that the lid is missing:

Does anybody know what or if this is a bandolier? The straps dont seem long enough to tie around yourself? It is stamped USMC 1945 and has six open pockets. Any help would be great.

Also, as ive just joined is there an introduction section?

Thanks.Good site!

I now know I should have taken better pics but for now these will have to do. What do you think?

I have the change to pick up a WW1 Kar98 (not a WW2 Kar98K) it is in good shape and have all matching numbers. I have own many Mausers over the years, but this is the first Kar 98 which I had the chance to pick up. The guy is asking $550, is that a good price? If not what should I offer?

I have been looking to start a collection for some time, but have been put off by the proliferation of fakes. These look good, and have fine detail,and they have a story about their finding. However, I am not so confident in my abilities and would like some input as to whether they look like originals - some pics are useless, but you'll get some idea. Any help appreciated.

Is there a forum that I am missing for this..?
I have a few boards, and i know that some are not ww2, and I would like to post a few to get an idea and not flood a forum in the wrong place.

thanks again cats

I am not too sure on this bar, as it is the only one I have ever seen in person. If anyone has a pic of one that would be great to compare.
Thanks cats.
