SS side cap, repro i think?

Hey everyone, here are a few pics of a side cap, i believe this to be a repro, or at least the totenkopf to be fake. It appears to be a SS tropical on a non-tropical side cap? Any opinions, it is for sale.

German Display

Hi All,
This is a display I put together of my smaller TR and Imperial German items. No ryhme or reason to how they are displayed, but these are the only smaller German items I have so I figured, hey, why not put something together! :D

I stained the frame and used styrofoam under the black velvet so the items could be mounted (the various pins are just pushed in). Very simple, but works for taking the items off to rearrange and or adding more.

In any case, enjoy!

Need help! Is this an original m40 with original paint?

Hi there, is this an an original m40 with original paint? It seems to have drips on the top too, which i find odd, like the paint ran a bit before drying, but it looks like old grey green charcoal sand paint.. not modern..but I saw in another thread that Ade said a similar helmet with the running paint was original..it's got a Q64 plus another numerical mark on the back center, so i assume it's a quist ww2 model.. please advise and thanks for all your help so far..

Early Nickeled Hitler Jugend Buckle w/RZM Code KH 24

Hello, gentlemen. I saw this nickeled HJ buckle for sale recently and thought it was interesting. I hadn’t seen this earlier type RZM KH (Koppelschloss Hersteller) maker marking before. Is RZM KH 24 the same maker as RZM M4/24? Is this a more scarce marking/buckle? It was going for $100 USD which seems on the higher side so I wasn’t sure if it was a little harder to come by.

Anyways, I’d greatly value any info and opinions!
Best,
Adam

Need help! Is this Tl-122Flashlight real?

I have two of these flashlights that I think came from my grandpa but I'm not sure. They are made of plastic so I'm not sure they are real. I read somewhere they switched to plastic after 1942. The reason I'm also concerned is because the markings only say Tl-122 not Tl-122A or Tl-122B. They also come with interchangeable blue red and yellow lenses. If it is real what are the lenses for. Thanks, Nick

Need help! Salty Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK) Hewer Dagger: A Good Deal?

In addition to some other daggers, I recently saw this DRK Hewer dagger for sale for, I think $350 USD, although it might have been $400. I don’t know a whole lot about these daggers yet, but I know that excellent examples with scabbard & frog can be over $1,000. Given this one’s condition what do you guys think about the price? Is it worth more?

Thanks for giving it a look and your opinion!
Adam
