I purchased this dagger at a local flea market. I can’t find any history on it. Don’t know if it’s a fake or not. The blade was cleaned up and blued by someone previous to my purchase. The handles are aluminum and fastened with allen head screws. The handle is stamped "US 1943". Looks like it was done by hand as the numbers are misaligned. It’s a single edge, 9.5" overall length with a 5.5" blade length. No other markings except what is stamped on the handle. Thanks

Hi, I'm new here, but that is not completly true; my brother is a member here, and sometimes we look on the forum at the great stuff and Im always supprissed about the great knowlegde you guys have.
I just started collecting, I am trying to make a nice Wehrmacht collection, but I don't have very much yet. I do have many items, but nothing realy rare or expensive, most of my stuff my brother gave to me or I was given by a farmer.
I have some medals (German) wich I will post later on, 13 at the moment but I don't want to bore you with that now.
My question is about this Quist helmet (size 64).
I got it from a farmer with a gasmask can with the mask inside. I could only have it if I prommise not to sell it because he could sell it him self if he wanted to.
My question is why is the liner cut in two places? And why is the chinstrap so shortend? I now it is 100% original, as it was left on the farm after the war and nobody touched it since.
I must admit I make two huge mistakes; when I get it it was very rusty, and I cleaned the shell with steelwool to see if any paint was left. The only paint left is some wintercamo white dripping through the inside ventileholes and a little bit on the outside round the revrets.
The other huge mistake I make is to take the liner out to see the dates. I just wanted to see what year it is, but my brother got mad and hit me round the head and told me I should never do this agian because now the helmet is raped.
Well I'm sorry, I learn from this thing. Now I wander why the liner is cut at the front, was this done more? What does the S mean on the gasmaskcan? It read 428/S.
Thank you for your help and Iill post more things soon.
Greetings Peter.

Hi again any opinions on this m43 Einheitsfeldmutze please? I've requested photos of the inside but if one of you experts can tell without seeing them I'd be more than grateful! Many thanks :) Jay.

Hi guys

Here is a link to the other 4, just in case you didn’t see them

http://warrelics.eu/forum/ordinance-…resents-22707/

My wife got me this little beauty for my birthday today (43…. ah well ).

It is a die-cast 1/6th replica of a Goliath demolition vehicle.

It is an awesome model that really needs no painting but…..and I have decided this as the day wore on……I think I am going to ‘weather’ it up a bit. It is a beauty of a model but I think will be much better with a bit of a scuff up.

What do you think ?

I’ll post progress up on here

Cheers

Steve T

Hi guys

Couldn't wait to show you these.

My wife got me them for my birthday today......what a little sweetie !!

A Bren magazine
A LE mag
A 20rnd Thompson mag
a 30rnd Thompson mag

!!!!!!! cool militaria cool militaria cool militaria cool militaria cool militaria

Not sure if they are WW2 era or post war repros but, they are awesome all the same.

Here they are :)



A close up of some of the markings.

The LE mag has a WD arrow and a Crown.



The 20rnd Thompson has 'The Seymour Prouction Co.' stamped on it very feintly.



The 30 rnd Thompson has 'SW Co' stamped on it. It was also covered in a thick layer of VERY old grease so I got the impression it had been in a storage box for quite some time.



And lastly the Bren mag. WD arrows again amongst other things.



I am dead pleased with them :D

Hope you like them :)

Cheers

Steve T

Attached are some original photos from my collection showing scenes of the Drop at Arnhem ( writing on the back associates them with Arnhem ) but they could be from the Rhine Crossing.
