My new addition Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter in Silver
Hello Everyone:
Well, here is my newest pick up! I got this from Hermann.
I keep jumping around from one area of TR to another!
It may kill me, but it’s been a fun ride!
Anyone have a period photo of one of these being worn?
thanks
Cody
I think I posted under the wrong section, could someone move it for me?
Jumped the ball on the wrong section!
Question Can someone help me identify this bayonet?
Hello All
I recently came into possession of this bayonet as my grand father left it in his will, I had no idea he had this or where he got it from, he served in 2nd world war for Britain but I think the bayonet is german but I am not 100% certain to be honest.
I have included photos to help identify the bayonet.
With regards specifici markings, the hilt of the bayonet states R.14.62 yet on the scabbard or sheathe it states R.12.172, I am assuming this means this bayonet did not originally come with this sheathe?
The only other marking is on the blade itself it says Seommerda.
Any help identifying this bayonet would be greatly appreciated if only to better understand its history as my grand father didnt mention this to me at all and I am interested as to where it comes from.
Cheers in advance,
WW1 helmet
I found a ww1 helmet at a local surplus store. It was half painted black and on top of a pot. no liner chinstrap or anything. I barely recognized it. He was asking 35? Contemplating buying it…
Could be a Good buy?
Thanks,
Michael

WW2 helmet?
I just got this helmet for 55 dollars and it came with a great shape ww2 liner, I originally wanted a vietnam lid, but i got this helmet because thats what I thought this was. I inspected it when I got home and the cork was the same as my ww2 helmet but I saw no front seam. The number in the front was 976. I judged it by the chinstrap and I think it is ww2. so…. now I am confused.

Need help! M35 Advice
Hi gents, came across this helmet on a local equivalent of craigslist; The original photo was small so I asked for more photos, I’ve received these; and I’ve no idea what I’m looking at. I can’t tell if it’s a repro, post war model or a foreign variant. Help?

Hi Guys,
As I do own a few small German & Third Reich items, I took some photos on my day off (finally) and some of this was part of them.
I have also posted it on the German Helmet Walhalla forum.
"Dear Associates,
Some of you may know me, but I assume most will not. I mainly collect Soviet militaria 1917-1958. I do not own much German & Third Reich material.
In any case, I do own a few pieces, one of which is this. Despite its poor condition, I have owned &enjoyed it for quite sometime and am unable to let it go.
I thought it interesting to have it discussed here, and hope the images provided are worthwhile.
One attribute that perplexes me is that the LH decal seems to be an Army type decal. Or, is it the swastika decal that has worn off strangely?"
Regards,
Richie
