WW Canteens

I bought these on an auction for $3.00 US. The one canteen without a cover is unmarked but seems identical to the marked one, minus the markings. It was a good day for me.

German Honor Guard bayonet

Ok guys, so this is the second time I have seen this:WW2 german k98 mauser BAYONET WWII early war mfg - eBay (item 360290135119 end time Oct-12-10 16:47:27 PDT) On ebay(@ link) and at a local antique store. I am curious to see if the one on ebay was made during WW2 and was plated/chromed by the Germans. I have heard the German Honor Guard had a similar bayonet, but I also know returning G.I.’s did this. If it is real, I offered the man 100 dollars the next time I come in. Is it worth 100 dollars if real. Is it worth buying if not?

M1 Front Seam Fixed Bale Painted Helmet w/ Net, 2nd ID WWII

I collect mostly German helmets, but have a fair number of U.S. helmets, including several 2nd ID pots. This one is the best. It has the painted 2nd ID insignia, the original unmarked liner, and the net that has been on it since the War. Hope you like it, Jim G.

Urkunde ekii - 334 inf. Div.

What I’m going to share with you is my latest purchase.
Isn’t anything immediately visible, but "reading" little by little the document I discovered that … … but let’s go with order.
I find myself accidentally in Internet searching for a brother, a Urkunde for EKI.
First of all is a Unteroffizier (Sergeant) belong to 334 Art. Reg. and already I would imagine behind a 88, then maybe they just of Pak, but I like to think so.
Then I begin reading a bit of history, about Lexxikon, about this Division.
Creates the 25 November 1942 and Christmas if passes already in Afrika and destroyed in May 1943 in Tunis.
On 3 June 1943 is sent in France (Bordeaux) and then end up to November in Genoa in Italy.
Is a little up and down for the boot to finish his career on the banks of the PO; prisoners will be then sent "al fresco" in American prison camps in the Alps.
This is the story of the Division in a very succinct; we now come to day month and year to see where the ns. Unteroffizioer has earned the decoration.
Certainly in Italy, but where exactly??? The answer always comes from Lexxikon that locates the Division in August, the document is dated 14.08.1944, in the 1st Armeekorps Fallschirmjaeger located in Florence.
Then the soldier then received the EKII nearby (in the widest sense of the word) Gothic line, near where I live. (in November will then in Bologna).
The signature is of Generalleutnant Hellmuth Böhlke :
Ritterkreuz (20. September 1942)
Eichenlaub No. 716 (25. Januar 1945)
Deutsches Kreuz in Gold (27. October 1941)
That’s it, nothing inconspicuous apart the stamp Green Lizard that is a punch in an eye.
Forgive the photos are those of the seller, as soon as I get home I will do 4 best pics, if you consider it appropriate.
Thank you for patience cool militaria
Greetings to all
