Hey guys! (sorry for my bad english im german)

My Great-Grandpa was a Wehrmacht soldier, killed in action in Russia.
But the Wehrmacht didnt send the Erkennungsmarke or Personal Stuff to my Great-Grandma just the Wehrpass.
But the writing in the Wehrpass is soooo bad i cant read it… i made a couple pics of it & maybe u can tell me where he was killed?

some infos:

1943: Gren.Ers.Batl.208/Stamm-Komp… stationed in Metz

1944: 4/Kampf..?..1006 (i made a circle on it)

4/3 1944: Gefallen in ..?…. Russland. / Killed in Action in …?…, Russia

*…?… = i cant read it

if u need more infos ill give it to you. its a long story

Greeetz from germany David

Hello guys
if someone is interestd to have a nice medal bar in own collection here you have one. Not so easy to find in this combination.
The EKII is a well known magnetic Otto Schickle [not present in the PK list (...) just in the LDO list with L/15]. It 's in good conditions and frame has a lovely dark patina.
The East medal is in very good conditions, frosted finish, buntmetall (tombak).
Medals, bar, ribbons, etc are original.

Price is 140 Euro + shipment

Payment: via Bank or Paypal (+4%), possible to pay in 2 tranche.

Shipment: as required, in my opinion registered letter could be very good.

Hi all.
Firstly I would like to say that I am jealous of all you guys who get to do such great things on the old fields of war. Living in Australia I dont get that opportunity. I hope I put this is the right category.

This dagger was apparently found on a dead soldier during the 1st WW. It has been in my dad’s possession for the last 50 odd years and came from his aunt who got it from someone. Thats all I know about it.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Hello all

I have the opportunity to buy 3 finnish helmets. My question is, is it worth the while, because I think they are post WW2

Here are 4 of my pocket pistols.

The Webley & Scott .32 is "minty", but the right side stock panel has some cracks. I have repros, but prefer the orig. Finish is impeccable.

The Mauser Sidelatch 6.35mm is missing the extractor, but works fine without it, though I’d love to find a replacement.

The Sauer 1913 .32 had a broken striker when I got it, but a replacement was only about $7. It is fun to shoot.

The Sauer 38(H) .32 is also "minty" but I put replacement stocks on it because one original was cracked. Fun to shoot.

Here is the 08/15 black officer's cap of about 1938/9 make in what seems to be un touched condition. It has the tell tale Clemens Wagner flimsy sweat shield. I have no commercial interest in this object. I share it here for the purpose of illumination.

It has appeared with an enlisted cap with the VA stamp.

I suppose someone could have stripped these caps of their insignia and sold them separately. What a capital idea.
