Question What are the opinions on this WH dagger?

Picked this dagger up yesterday at a carboot sale. It seems to be a Holler, looks fine to me, the only doubt I have is the mustard color of the grip. never seen one in this shade of color. Maybe I’m wrong, but my thought was that the grip has been replaced for a reproduction. The rest looks fine, so I bought it for 150 euros. No hangers or pommel, just as it is. The seller didn’t have any story about it, but garanteed me the dagger was original (as most sellers would do!).
I put it straight back up for sale, see if I can make a small profit on it.
Hope you guys can figger out if the grip is a good one!

‘Defense of Mogilev’ No expense spared music video?

I dont know if this is a music video, as I dont speak the language.
But if so, somebody pulled out aaaaall the stops!
Loads of nice equipment.
Interesting to watch.
One has has to let the fact slide, that the ‘Germans’ extras obviously never held rifles before, as they are very akward to say the least.
That how ever does not detract from the rest of the interesting points in the video.

Breslau 1938

Hello everyone,

I just picked up the event badge to go with this press pass that I have had for a few years. I just really liked the richness that the badge has with the press pass. For those interested you can follow this link to read more about the sports fest that was held in Breslau in 1938 Deutsches Turn- und Sportfest 1938 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This press card was issued on the 10th of August 1938 to a Karl Gruner of Schramberg.

Hope someone out there thinks this is as neat as I do!
