Need help! Canadian Battledress
Can anyone tell me how many different styles of WWII Canadian Battledress there are? I have seen a couple of different collar configurations and am confused as to what is proper.
Thanks

What liner for type B, Brody helmet?
Hello, I have acquired a shell and am interested in getting the correct liner for it as I like to have complete items in my collection. Obviously if indeed it is a type B the liner is long gone but it has the split rivets, the narrow brim, the raw edge and is stamped HV and it looks like 438 below it.
Anyway, I understand the rubber ring came later in the war and have read that early British shells has suspensions systems similar to the Adrian. The only ones around seem to be Prairie Flower, if I fitted a British suspensions minus the ring do you think I would be miles away from a feasible setup for this helmet orginally?
Also, is there such a thing as a colour photo of a brand new type B Brody? If I am going to do the liner I may as well try for a match on the original colour. I see plenty pictures with 80% rust and a few flecks of colour but would love to see one as it was issued.
Thanks in advance

Monocular WW II Issue
I picked up a monocular today at the local gunshop. It is about 2.5 in. X 1.5 in. and is finished with a blackish crinkle coat. It is marked CIRCLE AIMING MI/ NC?E.K.Co./FJA/1943. I am assuming the FJA is L/Col. Frank J. Atwood, which would make these military issue. However, I can not find anything on it anywhere…reference books..the net…nowhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need help! Is this an original handcrafted fighting knife?
Today I found what I was told is a German ww1 fighting knife constructed from a Mauser bayonet blade and layers of what I think is plastic(could be smooth, hard wood I suppose), and metal of some sort.
There is also a bolt on the bottom that I assume holds it all together.
Also, around the guard where the blade joins into the handle are several diamond shaped marks from a locking tool of some sort as well as other marks.
The knife certainly looks aged but I’m not too sure what to make of it.
Does any of this check out for authenticity? I’m not familiar with this field of expertise.
