Hi Guys,
Today i purchased couple of air raid sirens, they are not from WW2 but were manufactured in 1951.
they are both made from what appears to be bakelite, and although filthy, appear to be in very good condition.
anyways i was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on the bad boys, the wires from both units have both been cut, but i was wondering if i could replace the wiring with new stuff, and try these out :shok_yikes:
your thoughts as usual are allways appreciated.
p.s is it illegal to set these of :confused:
Hi. Is this cap real or fake? Don't know much about these. How much is a cap in this condition worth?
Help would be appreciated! :)
Hello For a small organization the NSBO had a lot of variations of their standard pattern buckle. A few of my examples. Kirby
A friend of mine has this and wants to know if its WWI flight helmet or later or is it just a leather hat any help would be great. The leather is still soft and the liner has no holes. If it is WWI Military I will try and buy it off him would $125.00 US be a good price.The helmet has what looks like two ear holes tha have a cover (see photos) also has a loop on the top if that helps at all . No makers tag
original helmet? original decal?

Am hoping someone can help identify the following projectile? I came across while scouting a disused rifle range - the range was commandeered by the Dept. of Defence during WWII and used as a training ground for Australian & possibly U.S. troops. As it was also a public range before and after the war, it's always fun to collect all the differing projectiles laying about and wander around in the hope of stumbling across the odd cartridge, although I've also found the occasional parts of 2 inch mortars (pieces of fuse housings, tail fins etc) in the area, so was clearly used as a mortar range during the war as well. The item pictured has me stumped, though...it was quite heavy for its size as you'd expect from a large projectile & pretty heavily corroded. The main stand-outs are what appears to be 2 sets of driven bands near the base & a sharpened projection at the nose end which appears to run through the centre of the "projectile"...whatever it is, it was pretty much crumbling into dust due to weathering, and was left where it was found. Have searched through pics of everything I can think of that may be a match, although have come up trumps - I'm thinking maybe British/Commonwealth 2 pounder/40mm anti-tank gun projectile? Any suggestions??
any offers or help greatly recieved in advancecool militaria
It was probably brought into a a small shop, or maybe a garage sale find? I have not asked.
