Hi guys,

Thanks for answers. Juraj

Luftwaffe Badges

I have these two badges in my collection. One is a pilots badge and the other a combined pilot observer.

The pilots badge is a CE Junker Berlin SW and the Observer is JMME.

Are these genuine?

Стропорез

Here´s a soviet "Стропорез" (Stroporez)


Dimension´s:

Total length: ........................... apx. 23,2 cm
Blade lenght: ........................... apx. 13,2 cm
Scabbard length: ..................... apx.14,0 cm
Blade width at base: ................ apx. 2,1 cm
Blade width at narrowest point: apx. 1,2 cm


I´ve been told, that this is the 2nd-pattern soviet paratrooper´s and pilot´s "cord-cutter"-knife.

This knife was fixed on the top of the bag of the back-up chute.

This knife´s also seen with brown grip, fixed with two aluminium rivets and black scabbard, with brown grip and green scabbard and with grey grip and blue scabbard.


There´s also a cord-cutter knife, that isn´t "waisted", but, also with sawteeth, (only on the back !), and shows a screwdriver-tip".
Some collector´s mean, that this is an early-pattern knife.


BTW, I read, that this particular knife is a soviet combat-diver´s knife ...

Anyway, it´s very "handy" and I assume, it´s also "useable" as a close-combat knife ...


Anybody of you guy´s have more information´s, (maybe pic´s of this knife in use ?), regarding this knife ?


Thx. in advance,

R.

Early Reservist Beer Stein

Early glass reserveist beer stein date 1886 with dedication and name - not as popular as the more decorative porcelain/stone reservist steins with later dates but still a nice early stein for the collection.

I.D. Tag information HELP!

Hello All, If you would be so kind....... I need some help w/I.D. tag information.

I am a WW2 re-enactor and for an event this Summer i would like to make up some simple German I,D. tags as a "keep-sake" of this battle, for the guys in my Unit. We will be portraying members of the Herman Goring Div. in Italy, March 1944. The event is called "March on Rome", so as you may have already figured out, we are defending/falling back to Rome on Highway 6. We are a Panzer Unit with a working Pz III, halftracks, etc.....

It is my understanding that this would have been just BEFORE they were redesignated Fallschirm-Panzer-Division Hermann Göring in April 1944.

Can someone please give me a run down of what an I.D. tag from this Unit would have looked like?
Many Thanks, Paul.

P.S. I plan to stamp the back with the event name and dates so I think there would be no chance of any one thinking this is an original. PB.

Luftwaffe Eagles

I finally found the cap eagle to go with my breast eagle which I have had for some time. Very happy with both.
