As in my earlier thread I thought I was going to view a SMLE mk3 today, however when I got there it turned out to be a No4 Mk 1. The rifle is in very good condition old spec de activation carried out sympathetically. It was made by the Royal ordinance factory, is fitted with the correct zinc but plate and comes with a pig sticker bayonet.

Can anyone advise what market value is for this rifle. I will post pictures when we get a less overcast day.

Many thanks

Robin

Gentlemen….something we have not touched upon as yet, boots and shoes of the Bundeswehr ! many varieties of boots and shoes have been issued/worn within the BW from jackboots to sports pumps !…lets see yours and discuss…I will start with the only pair to date I have, a pair of 1983-1993 Kampfstiefel (Combat boots) these have a welded or glued rubber sole, previous models can be distinguished by their sewn on soles, they are black…as BW boots had been since 1978, prior to that they had been brown (from 1971)…..a distinctive patterned sole (see photos) marked with "Delta" the manufacturer, being for the BW. These go well with my 1980’s Panzergrenadier display. I also show with a pair of 1962 Gaiters, these were worn well into the 1980’s and are virtually the same pattern as the WW2 originals.
Prost ! Steve.

I don’t collect Japanses items but I picked up these few as a group a few years ago. There is a ‘maetball’ flag with Kanji, three photos and a handful of paper money.
I must confess my ignorance if I have the flag upside down but I really have no idea which way it goes.

Ehrenblattspange der Waffen SS und Spanienkreuz.
Once there was a lonesome seeker on his restless march on the battlefields of old Europe.On a mild spring evening in April, his will to fund led to the discovery of the perilous path to a distant country, that was called 502,because a few years before friends had found there an identification tag Stab/s.SS.Pz.Abt.502.. also several Prinz Eugen and awards.Some years and insistent calls for truthful description of the march route had needed it,until finally the lonesome seeker that evening arrived in this promising area..Since that time, this area on the breakthrough-way of the pocket is called "Spain" now.. named after the Spanish Cross in silver with swords .. but it could also be called "6 man".. that had entered that enemy position to keep watch there for sixty years..A few weeks later one of this men`s wife held his wedding ring in her 90 years old hands and his son stood on the last march at his side..The same at some of the other men.But the restless march of the lonesome seeker didn`t stop.. and so he walked on through this dangerous land .. .. meter by meter, kilometer by kilometer and dug for dug..And when the May came,and once again the moon smiled from the sky,he took along the way.And he dug out an Infanterie Assault badge and a few moments later a Zn-core EKI and GD shoulder strap.Forward he thought .. just continue..here comes more, I want to find!Only find!After another 20m another next Infanterie Assault Badge..this time made of non ferrous metal and an iron core EKI .. .. hammer!Forward ..!Forward ..!I want to find!Everything all around full of 10 Reichspfennig coins..dig everthing..can be something good with his signal..Dig up.. and what is it there in the pale light of the flashlight ..?No Reichspfennig..Ehrenblattspange des Heeres..!Battle cry ..!5 telephonecalls in the night..and keep on searching.. more .. here can still come more ..!Next signal 2m forward..SS Totenkopf!No Erkennungsmarke.But the restless march of the lonesome seeker be continued..If anyone has information about Waffen SS holders of the Ehrenblattspange in the pocket please let me know..It may not only be Täubl from Nederland or Küffner from SS Pz.A.A.10..Tried my best english This was a fairy taile of the lonesome seeker..and fairy tales may be true..or may be not..Kinnarodden is the northern most point of european mainland..:)Greetings.

Can you help me please with these 2?
First I have and I can not find the unit and second i want to buy
Since I am new to collecting IDs I would welcome any advices aswell

Hello (from Belgium)…

I received this object from an older guy in his early 70’s who told me he had it from his father. I guess it dates from the 50’s or late 40’s. It’s very well made and the fuselage is made from two or three parts and the wings fit in slots. It’s all made in aluminium except the base plate which is in brass.

Has any of you seen such object before? Any idea if it’s worth something? All info is welcome. I looked for marks etc, but there are none. It’s about 20 cm’s high or 8inches from base to top.
