Hello All,
not being a buckle collector this chap landed in my letter box today.

After a little research I believe it to be an original item.
An original GB - Gustav Brehmer and dated under the roller bar with a 41 stamp…although this picture didn’t come out that well.

From what I have read these buckles either blue or silver came with different colour webbing tabs.
I am quite sure the one I have is a silver coloured one which should have a white tab?

Apart from some oxidisation it doesn’t look too bad to me.

Any opinions or info would be appreciated

All the best
Doug

Gents, I would like to share with you some evidence suggest of existing diffrent colour of Polish Paras beret during WW2 (other than grey and green/grey), Which I found. Please find attached photos below. First picture desciption: Ignacy Pelc, Polish soldier, 11th Polish Signals battalion in Italy, 1943
Second picture(group photo) Personnel of the 11th Polish Signals Battalion in Italy 1944.
Ignacy Pelc went to Italy with 2nd Corps, and then was sent to the special, diversion unit, called Base 11(part of the 11th Polish Signals Battalion?) His unit were corresponding with the AK( Polish Underground Army)
These soldier wore BD wit Polish Paras collars(few others as well)Para badge….and dark blue or black? beret.
If unit were only small group from 11th Polish signals battalion attached to Para’s why some of them wore Paras BD and dark berets, and the rest FS caps, standard BD, et cetera.
If these soldier wore these berets temporary why they wore Paras BD?
They had waited for new stock/ supply?
By the way one soldier from group photo: down upper right has unusual BD cuff.
In my humble opinion, this is very interesting find.
Gents, I wonder what do you think. I will greatly appreciate your opinions. Thank you.

Regards
Alex

Greetings!

I recently acquired this flag (KM? 50×85). Therefore i would like to know if anyone could tell me about the markings, the authenticity of the flag and what kind of a flag it is. My best gues is that it’s a Kriegsmarine flag?

On the backside it looks like the Inkt from a KM battleflag got(printed?) into the cloth. Due time(laying on top of each other) or just a production error?(last 2 pictures).

Picures(the white is a bit more yellowish/dirty in real):

Thanks in advance! cool militaria

P.S. Sorry for my clumsy english :p
