How can I contact authors?

Hello, can anyone suggest how I might contact these author’s as I have questions about certain events and details that these books do not cover.

They are:
Waldyslaw tylka, Waleczne Skorpiony, Barwa Pulku 4 Pancernego ,,Skorpion” tom I
Marek Wronski, Waleczne Skorpiony, Barwa Pulku 4 Pancernego ,,Skorpion” tom II, III
Zbigniew Lalak, Pulk 4.Pancerny ,,Skorpion”

Is contacting them through the publisher the only way? Maybe some of our forum members from Poland might have a suggestion.

Thanks in advance for your patience

Cast iron eagle with swastika, original?

Hey here i have a cast iron eagle with swastika, it has ‘Berlin 1939′ on the back and I’m pretty sure its an original due to where i brought it and the age on it. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what it may have been used on?
Thanks

Need help! Red Coat Identification

I really need some help with this one. :\
I don’t know much about the Red coats or their ranking system; nor do I know much about the man in the picture.
All I can tell you is that:
The man is from England (Yorkshire) and the photo was most likely taken after 1890.

Is there any additional information you can tell me about this image or if any of the information I have given you (eg. the year) seems wrong?

Steel helmet M16 Two tone camo

It’s already a while since I posted something, but I din’t have much time to do so, but let’s start again…
This helmet is for about 8 months in my collection, and the longer I look at it, the more I like it…
It’s a M16 with a two tone camo, the inside of the brim is also overpainted.
I can’t make out wich maker it is, but an "E" is slightly visible, therefore I think it’s an ET size 66. The liner has never been touched and sits rock solid in the shell…
The helmet was found in a local antique shop in Haarlem only a few weeks before I purchased it… As you can see on the label, this helmet was once sent to the family Lacomblé in Haarlem (The Netherlands) by mr. Krieger of Amsterdam.
Enjoy the pictures,

Adler
