Hi all,
The London Games are underway at last so I thought I would start a thread on Memorabilia of the XI Summer games in Berlin 1936.
I only have the two pieces.

Hello moderators / admin guys,

Given the propensity of relic helmets ( ground found or dug ) popping up recently and the polarising effect they seem to have, ( those that love them or loath them ) could we have a sub-forum like the SS one dedicated ONLY to these??

Several reasons why I ask this ….
1) For some of us, it is all we can afford / find / start off with / or like.
2) For some it has more a tangible link to the war than pristine helmets ( flawed logic or not )
3) I have recently bumped up a few good threads lost in the now swelling archive that is the WRF.
4) for those that dislike relics, threads about them won’t "clutter up" the normal forum.

So what say ye??? ……. can it happen, should it happen??
I for one think it has both merit and validity…….. what do other relic helmet lovers think?
Dan

Hello folks! While browsing on the bay I found these boots. They’re listed by the seller as a Wehrmacht item from WWII , but I’ve never seen anything like them. They would be exceptionally strange as a Heer item, so I’m wondering if they might be a private purchase item for an officer?
They more to me like boots for some sort of mounted troop, and look less suited to generic land use.

*Edited*
A second look also makes me wonder if they might be a paratroop boot?

Hi guys,

A friend of mine wants to know what his fixed bale McCord with a heat stamp of 98C would date to. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mo
