My first pop video: Soldiers Song
Hi Guys, well not actually me as such. I cannot play a single note!
But a few weeks ago I was contacted to be technical advisor for a music video shoot. The band, Julian Tomas & Friends play smooth jazz and are fairly local to me.
The band play a lot of gigs in the Ukraine, so the song was decided to have a WW2 (Great Patriotic War) theme.
I provided all of the Soviet kit and weapons from my collection. Lead singer Julian wears my uniform.
The German group were my good friends from GD Reccon.
The filming with "GD" took place over a Saturday night stating at 5.30pm and ending at 3.30am! I was there for the filming on the Monday and this took from 9.30am and we did not pack up untill 10pm. So you can see how long this kind of thing takes.
I am really happy with the finished results: the guys looked nice and dirty and dusty.
Listen to the words of the song.
Cheers, Ade.
Forget about Ka-Bar. Cattaraugus 225 Q all the way.
Most people know of the Ka-Bar, but Im partial to the Cattaraugus, as I never cared much for the spindly cross guard of most generic WWII Ka-Bars. Just a personal preference of course.
Cattaraugus made quality knives for decades and this mass-produced utility/fighter is no exception.
Stacked leather washer grip still holds up nicely and the thick blade is in fine shape.
I found it in very dirty condition and sans sheath for next to nothing at a gun show. It cleaned up very nicely and is in fine condition overall. I just brushed off the grime and lightly went at some surface rust spots with a brass pad. Then oiled the blade lightly. Apart from that, Ill leave it as is.

Question MK II Para in Indonesia
I found this helmet in the antique market in my hometown solo. No stamp maker and no liner left. Much lighter than my brodie mark II and mark IV turtle helmet. And it’s really comfortable when i wear it with my headset. 
Anyway my question is how do we know the age of this helmet?
Thank you in advance.

Question Reputable Dealers with good prices?
Hello, I’ve set aside around 800$ for something nice to add to my collection. Im looking for anything German from both World Wars. Im primarily looking for anything from Helmets, Caps, or Salty Tunics. I would really like to find a Camo WWI helmet or pickhaube at an okay price.
So i’d apreciate it if anybody could point me to some sites with Reputable Dealers and good prices. The only sites i’ve found are ones like Collectors Guild, which are not bad, but very price. Any help would be apreciated!

Information on Helmet
Had a student ask why did the ww1 German helmets have a spike on top , I didn’t know and told him I would try to get information on this and get back. So I started here. Can anyone please tell me? Thanks!
