Does anybody know if this is a german WW2 gasmask? It looks like a more recent gasmask canister.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I threw caution to the wind and purchased this (my first)Attachment 153349Attachment 153350 EK2 without a photo to look at - the price was too good. It has a makers mark on an unsoldered ring of 128, which I believe is S Jablonski Gmbh of Posen. It has taken a bit of yellow from the setting sun, but can anyone tell me if it is a good one please!

Hello. This is a general question about WW2 M1 helmets and their collectors. Here is the hypothetical. Lets say I own 2 M1 helmets, both in exactly the same condition, both the same age, model etc.
Both helmets are named to average soldiers. Neither one famous.
The first helmet belonged to a Male soldier and the second helmet belonged to a Female soldier.
Which would be more desirable and valuable to collectors or would there be any difference? Thoughts? Thanks:)

found this browsing sites... like it a lot. Can anyone tell me more about it, and is the price appropriate?

thanks!

Attachment 153345Hi guys,this gravity knife is up for auction in a couple of days,i went to the viewing today,sadly i was late late!,only managed to grab this 1 pic,its maker marked SMF SOLIGEN ROSTFREI ,looks and feels great,tho i am unsure as to its originality,im thinking its genuine. The write up in the catologue says "an original second world war Luftwaffe gravity knife with single edged blade by SMF etc...with polished wooden grips" estimate price £60-80 .I love it! wanting to bid on it but cant afford a fake one! I dont really know much about them but have trawled the forum here and it seems ok by what you guys have on previous knifes like this.
Could anybody help me on this one please?,also if an auction house says its "original" and you come to find it isnt,can you sue or what?,surely they wouldnt damage their credibility this way?.
If anybody can help me i`d very much appreciated!..Thanks guys
All the best
