I have some photo albums that used to belong to a man from kleine Kraftwagen-Kolonne Infanterie-Divisions-Kolonne 253. Does anyone know where I can find more info about it? I tryed google but it gives me nothing. Does anyone know if there were any Gebirsjäger units in "kleine Kraftwagen-Kolonne Infanterie-Divisions-Kolonne 253." ? Also in many postcards it says "H.K.B. 17" as sender, does anyone know what it means?

I have had this belt buckle on a desk for a few years and have never really inquired as to its origin. It is marked well but made of Aluminum? I always figured a real buckle would be heavier but cant hurt to ask. Marked RZM, SS in a diamond, and OLT 62637 I believe.

Today I was on my usual Saturday Morning estate sale search when I came upon is two olive colored "pith " caps that looked like they would be worn is a more or less tropical part of the world.I am a TR postcard and dagger collector and I do not know anything about German helmets or cloth head gear.I think I know enough to say it is a fake if it has Germany printed on the leather inside ’sweat band’. this is the argument I had with the seller I said ,why would a item made in war time Germany have printed "Germany" on the inside? the seller said it was a vet bring back and had to be real.I said it was a post war mock up made for souvenir purposes and was not worth the $550.00 price tag he had on them.Like I said they were olive :)color and had a black and silver aluminum eagle shield on one side and a red white and blue shield looking thing on the other side They looked like they have never been worn (no sweat stains or any other marks on the inside.I would like to get a photo of real one and take it to this fellow and say look its a fake unless I am wrong.
