Here are a few interesting pictures that i have for you to view.
All the pictures are of the Italians in the former British colony of somaliland.
They are from the associated press office Berlin and are dated July and August 1940.

Guys to be honest im getting more horrified at the level of sophisticated fakes,mainly because good honest people are getting fleeced.I think even in a small way in the relic area they are trying to fake the ss decals ect.Guys who have more exsperience than me can hopefully outwit the thieves.Once again i have taken refuge in relics which i would suggest are now 95% genuine .They have usually good info on where they where found, and the study of rust degradation ,and bullet shrapnel holes is facinating at the way the degrading ,and punctured metal has been EVOLVING SINCE IT LEFT THE FACTORIES IN MINT CONDITION.It is also possible to narrow down the regiment the helmet likely belonged too.Because of the points i have mentioned are there any of the guys who wouldnt normally touch relics now seeing this as an alternative ,or are there any other opinions,LV
The Denver Broncos lost their top two running backs in Sunday’s opening full-camp practice. They were Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter.
Knowshon Moreno twisted awkwardly as he attempted to catch a pass along the sideline in a seven-on-seven drill, then was carted off the field. Moreno couldn’t put any weight on his right leg and was aided by two trainers into the team’s facility. The fear is that Moreno tore his hamstring, which would sideline him for at least the rest of camp.
Shortly afterward, backup Correll Buckhalter walked off the practice field holding his lower back. It’s unsure when he’ll be able to practice again. And coach Josh McDaniels refused to answer questions about the injuries Sunday night.
Without Moreno and Buckhalter, Kolby Smith and Lance Ball will get added carries. Having traded J.J. Arrington last week, the Broncos might reconsider signing free agent Brian Westbrook.
Hey guys! Can I get some opinions on these two helmets? I'm not versed enough in SS, and have never seen this type of Paratrooper helmet (may be Red Cross?)...
