This Garde helmet was mailed home by Lt. Stricklin, of the Allied Expeditionary Force, A.P.O. 740, to his wife in Groesbeck Texas (current population 4307). I wonder how they fared after the Great War - "How are you gonna keep "em on the farm…". After I took the pictures this morning I punched "A.P.O. 740" into google, and found Private O’Leary’s letter to his sister that describes an action on the Marne in July 1918 where men from A.P.O. 740 met Garde units in battle. Unfortunately, this one wasn’t well stored for many years - the liner was partially eaten by rodents and truly is a rat - but the mail home information and the HS shield spoke to me and I had to buy it. Hope you like it. Cheers, Jim G.

Hi to all,
I would like to know if you can identify this German World War II object.
It come from an old partisan, he says that it is a device that used a timer to make the German saboteurs for exploding ships and submarines.
It is made of bakelite and is built tight, perhaps for use under sea?
I can not find any information, Somebody have notice?
