Hi all forum members !!! cool militaria

Well here are three trolley-bus eagles and one so called railroad eagle. I have always been a suck for these guys! With the number of fakes out there I wanted to show some different makes and color variations. The larger one the (vet) not me, cleaned off where the maker marks are. In the cracks there is a white chalk the same found on camo helmets. The darker one was painted on the vehicle-aka bus-trolley and when removed the red paint stayed on the the eagle. Well enjoy them.

Hello Gentlemen,
Came across this dagger which I take to be a British Parachutist’s, I’m uncertain about which period it was in use, would members have any idea. I looked the knife over, found no makes mark or any stampings on the dagger. Any information welcome
Best Wishes

Hello, I am new here and just posted a reply to an M33 thread, then noticed it is from last year! So I will repost just the question part here.
I bought an Italian M33 helmet with a decent liner but no chin straps. Where can I get leather straps at least similar in appearance to the originals? I’m not a reenactor so they don’t have to be totally authentic. When I was preparing to make a purchase I spent days comparing every picture and description I could find of wartime M33’s, postwar M33’s, and the 1951 model Bulgarian "clone". The straps on the M51 Bulgarian helmets look similar to the leather wartime Italian style.Could I use the straps from the lookalike Bulgarian helmets and rivet them instead of stitching as on the Bulgarian model? Other suggestions? Thanks.

This wonderful Karl Halfar Panzer Officer visor came from our very own Forum moderator Stonemint a few years back. Check out the thick top piping! This same visor is featured in the book "The Collectors Guide to Cloth 3′d Reich Military Headgear".
