Booklet for Allied Troops occupying Rome. Funny Propaganda!

Hello all!

I picked this booklet up at a local antique store. I assume it was handed out to Allied troops on occupation duty in Rome during/ after the war.

It’s more or less a tourists guide book to the city, but it also offers brief tips on what to expect with Italians and Italian culture.

I got the biggest kick out of the tips the book offers for picking up Italian women… and then the ads for doctors treating venereal diseases … :eek:

What do you guys think? I only paid $5 for it.

odd type 14 nambu

hello gents,
i had an interesting day yesterday, and thought i would share. my wife wanted to go look at some yard sales/garage sales. out of old habit i ask people if they have any old military items that might not be out at the sale. some times i get lucky. one sale i picked up an m-1 helmet about as minty as they get, being used. named to a guy in the trailblazers, liner has the white axe head, but his name was removed from there, but writen in side the steel fixed bail front seam shell.

another yard sale i found a late war japanese bayo in a wood scabbard, and an m-7 us bayo
at yet another sale i found this odd type 14 nambu ( all by just asking) i looked the nambu over and it looked like crap. but some things looked very odd to me. missing parts. ( i think)they dont effect function lower reciver looks to have never been blued, unlike the barrel. wear would not account for total bluing loss in low hard to reach areas, leaving the barrels bluing pretty decent. and its not a parts gun. because the main odd feature is there are no serial numbers or showa date. that caught my eye. and a very strange holster with it. but i believe it is original to the gun. i had no idea what this rig could be, but i knew it was going home with me. after getting home i started my education on things i knew nothing about. the us helmets i never collected and knew nothing about untill i looked it up. i got a good score i think. the nambu i looked up too. never saw one like it before with no numbers or date but they do exist in small quantity from what i read. i welcome your thoughts.

Question 2nd armored uniform

Hi…My grandfather served in the army during ww2. I was told he was in the 2nd armored division(he had a lot of "hell on wheels" patches, etc when i was growing up.Unfortunately he passed away in ‘96. I found his uniform and I was wondering if anyone could tell me any specifics about it(ribbons, cords, patches, etc) Thank you very much.

British Type C Drop Container - SOE Norway

British Type C Drop Container - SOE Norway

I picked this up the other day, it is an original British "Type C Drop Container" parachuted down to Norwegian resistance fighters (SOE) agents during the war.
It has the original markings and numbers and with the original paint still intact..
It was recovered from a small lake in the woods near Oslo a couple years ago after being dumped/hidden by the SOE agents after unpacking them..

I packed it with some random stuff and dropped down into my Nabors garden LOL :p

I am looking for an original parachute for this and other items to fill it with. If anybody has anything that they are willing to sell (send me a PM) :)

Best regards from Norway!! :)
