WW2 Aviation & Instrument Collection - RAAF, RAF, RCAF, USSAF

Hi all,

I am new to the forum & I have enjoyed the experience! In turn I would like to share a bit of my hobby with other like minded collectors. For me the collection is a result of a casual interest over the last 15 years which has got quite a lot more active over the last five years (my discovery of online auctions). My main collection theme is WW2 aviation, with a preference for mechanical parts, instruments, radios, sights and navigation. Although the bounds extended into land based field equipment and naval equipment as opportunity presents.

Would be happy to attempt to answer question, although I suspect you will probably know much more than I. Also I am at the stage of considering cataloguing my collection - keen to know has anyone used digital tolls to do this (ie web, cd rom etc)

Anyway let me know what you think:)

Erkennungsmarken, J.R, Kraftfahr and Fahr, all from eastern front.

Hello again.

Please enjoy these three discs.
They all come from the eastern front.
They are not at all among my most well kept tags, instead corroded and bent.
I like how they stamped a line before and after the Stammrollnumber on the Stabs kp./J.R-tag.

Please tell me your opinions or thoughts if there are any.

Best regards
Anders
