You must excuse me as I’m new to this thread also I am WW2 tank trooper 82 years old so not to good at this!
By chance I was googling for German buckle and found a request fo help in identifying an equipment buckle.
I cant find it now but the buckle pictured was NOT WW2 kit but a buckle from a ‘GRISWOLD SOCK MACHINE’, used to attach to the sock being made and a weight hung on it to pull the fabric down!
See if I can attach pic!
See buckle in bottom right of spares kit!
Hi, all. I saw this flag at an auction and it was going cheap. I don't know if it's authentic, though and it was mixed in with a lot of other stuff...some good and some bad. What do you all think?
Thanks for the opinions
Best,

It was during my last visit to the Ardennes when I discovered this relic, in a hedge at the foot of the Elsenborn ridge near Dom Butgenback. I’ve never formally identified it so thought may be you could help. To me it looks very similar to the (bottom) propulsion unit from a Nebelwerfer perhaps a 42 (30 cm NbW 42).
As you can see it was fired and is now a hollow inert tube. The end where the charge would have screwed into place has blown out caused when it exploded. But for all this it’s in good condition considering what it must have gone through. I have pictured a .30 cal and K98 cartridge next to it just to give an idea of size, it’s also very heavy!.
In a museum I saw a couple of similar but there tubes were shredded caused by explosion, sadly they were not labelled.
For reference the last picture is of a similar looking tube I found on internet.
Thanks for any help you can give.
All the best.

Here we have a decal-less M35 with what may or may not be its original liner. It has definitely seen some times that’s for sure. I’m very tempted by this poor old boy. The pictures are poor, I know and obviously I am contacting the dealer for lotnr and makers mark/size… Opinions, thoughts and hard truths are welcome. Also an honest evaluation price wise would be great.
Hi all, I came across this SS visor on sale for $3,500. It looks period to me. Is that not insanely cheap?? Would this not usually go for about $8,000?... It is not in perfect condition, but still. :eek: Please correct me if I'm wrong, that is, if there's something about this hat that makes $3,500 a fair price.
