G’day All,

Thought I would share my two Favourite Aussie Items, apart from my own issue items I kept.

Here are two WW1 rising suns, with the "slider" type clip in the back. These are commomnly called "Light Hiorse" issue but were not restricted to issue to Light Horse units only. Other type have the little ring clips on them. Also shown are two "Returned from Active Service" badges for WW1. They were given to Veterans after the war. This practice still continues, though the badge design has changed. Soldiers who have returned from Active service recieve one, and it usually worn when medals are not required at a function or some such. The other badges are "Returned and Services League", similar to the VFW or Legion, membership badges. The large one is original from 1919 with a 1920 year badge applied to it. these small badges were added each year and showed that the member had paid his dues for the year. Theis pratice continued until the 1990’s but has been discontinued. the other 3 smaller ones are the size that was adoptedafter 1920 and still in place today. the 1919 badge has 2 figures of a sailor and a soldier, as it was originaly called the "returned sailors and soldier imperial league" over the years a Airforce figure was added and the name changed to the RSL. A fourthn figure was added in the 1990’s to include the nurses and the name was changed again to the "Returned and Services League" to reflect the change in focus to include all service personel regardless of overseas service. Each badge is individualy numbred to the soldier and technicaly remain the property of the RSL. A lot of them find their way in medal shops. I have contacted the RSL ref these particular badges, as I think it would be nice to see if the family wants them back!

Hi all, While at a gun show looking for M2 Ball 30-06 (I did get some.), There was a swapmeet going on also, I found this all Vietnam M1 helmet (I think all correct pieces) for 40$. I tried to get a picture of the stamp on the inside of the rim, but failed but the stamp is: 499A. Under the layer of paint is red coat of paint and under that is a green coat. George A

Hi guys, I’m looking for more information about this badge. It is an Italian automobile club badge, for use on the car. The letters mean something like REGIO AUTOMOBIL CLUB ITALIA, the presence of royal symbols and the fascio puts it in the 1920s - 1930s time frame. Made by C. Paccagnini, Milano. Can you tell me more about it? Especially, can you date it more precisely? Thank you very much cool militaria

The M1 is front seam schulter helmet, swivel bale. (Excuse my spelling of schulter, if wrong)

Hi Guys… talk about a fluke! I am just about to move house and, by a stroke of luck, the house I’m moving in to is right opposite the WA Military Museum, check it out… Army Museum of WA - Artillery Barracks I look across the street and see a row of heavy artillery pointing my way… and, as if that’s not enough… about 5 minutes away is the Maritime Museum… now that’s what I call location, location, location! cool militariacool militaria
