I obtained these a few days ago and after much research, I'm still baffled. Thanks to Pierre, I know they were made in 1940. However, I have found that the M IV/1 on either side of the swas is suppose to mean they are Kriegsmarine. Do any of you gentlemen know if that is true? If it is true, why would they be painted in the Africa Korps color. Also any ideas on what the
Nr. 1337 means on the right side below the swas. I sure would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Jay

I´m a serious colletor of items relating to the Finnish Winter war against the Soviet Union in 1939-1940. I recentky picket up this piece of cotton bandage with the text "Compliments AMERICAN RED CROSS Chapter". Could it be period made and part of the U.S. help to Finnish forces in that war. Personally I find the letters in the text look like beeing of a later type??? Is there anybody out there who could enlighten me on this one.

Regards Jan


SORRY the item has nothing to do with Bronx thats for sure, I was thinking of another item while writing the headline ;)

Further to my post on the BBC -I have now had contact with CH4 as well -it seems that there is greater interest in this story than I appreciated .

I’d like to thank all of you who took the time and effort to contact me over the last few weeks ( especially those who made the effort to meet face to face )

This story is far from over - but I believe the publicity will do wonders for our cause.

Finally I’d like to promote The Keith Park Memorial The Sir Keith Park Memorial Campaign - The permanent bronze statue of Sir Keith Park will grace a new Plinth in Waterloo Place; the unveiling will be a principal part of the RAF’s celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and will take place on 15th September 2010.

Hello fellow members,
While in Corsica, i had the opportunity to visit the german military cemetery located in Bastia (Northern Corsica). I thought that it would be a good idea to take a few photos in order to open this small thread and share this moment with you.
Hope you'll find the visit interesting.
Thanks
:)

I’m looking for a good condition deactivated Yugo MG53 machine gun, as I simply cant afford the German MG42. I’ve seen them advertised for £295 but the company selling doesnt have them in stock at present, if anyone can match that price or around it let me know

Thanks

Danny

Ok, i was able to pick these up , along with a bunch of other items also.

The top two are silver thread type threads, and the bottom two are embroided.

I really love these, and they seem very well made, and i have not seen any of these made by the fakers , as of yet, that is.

Thanks
Brian
