All of these items my grandfather brought back from his service in the war, who then passed them down my father, who passed them down to me recently.

First off, id like to show off a display i put together of my grand fathers medals.

A photo copy of his discharge paper - the original has been since lost.

Good Conduct Medal in his name

American Campaign Medal

European/African/ Middle East Campaign medal with two Bronze Combat Stars

Victory Medal? i dont honestly know.

Proficiency Awards

im unsure of this pins significance.

And here are the rest of my items.

German Police helmet earlier identified by forum members

what i was told was a German Tank sight



engravings in the side

The knob cycles two filters in the scope, one that filters a small amount of light, and the other fliters quite a bit more.


The eye piece also revolves left and right (up and down like its threaded) to control what i assume is the focus of the lense.

My grandfathers US army issue belt and canteen






manufacture engraving

and an unmarked m1 army helmet
