From german-english trench

Some idea about these objects? They came from german-english trench in Salerno’s battlefield.

Who manufactured steel helmets for the Australian army during the 1960s?

Did these helmets have a prefix MWA stamped into the steel shell? What prefix was used?

Hello all,

i need you help to identify this sign on this westinghouse liner D 37: a star with a sea-horse, found in France, near town of Caen.
I think it is writing D 910.

NSDAP badge factory rejects

these unfinished badges were found in Germany a while ago. I think they are interesting pieces. The small ones are the center piece for Der Deutschen Mutter kreuz.

SA Jäger 21/J8 set of tabs

Another tab I have in my collection. If I did the homework correctly:

the black tab indicates Berlin or Niederrhein
the green stitching indicates a Jäger unit, as the first K before the Standarte number.
Therefore these tabs were for a SA Mann of the 21° sturm 8° Jäger Standarte. His rank was a OberTruppführer.

Need help! SS Pennant w/RZM Tag: Authentic? For a Staff Car?

I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on this piece I saw recently. The seller was not sure if this was authentic or not or what exactly it was. Apparently it was purchased at a garage sale. I cannot tell if this is authentic or not or what it is. Perhaps a pennant/flag for a staff car? If anyone has any information or thoughts on this piece I'd really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks,
Adam
