Hi guys I’m thinking of purchasing this fat container & wondered if you would consider this to be WW2 or Post-1945 ? It has two markings, one on the inside of lid & the other on the base of container (both the same) looking at the forum it would appear it was made by Gaudlitz und Kaiser, Koburg & the K would signify ‘Harnstoffharz mit organischem Füllstoff’ (Urea resin with an organic filler), not bakelite ? The seller says it opens in a 1/4 turn too. Also I’ve noticed that some containers have a thin thread, others have a thick thread, does this determine an earlier/later model, I’ve noticed that the thicker threaded versions the seem to lack the lower vertical ‘grips’, just wondered if this is a case of production, being simplified as the war went on ?

Description: Very nice heer signals officers visor cap made by Pekuro. I believe this is a mid to late war visor cap as the wool is not refined like earlier caps. As you can see in the photos, there is moth tracking on the cap but no holes that I can find. Regardless, this cap is solid and displays beautifully. The cap has a minty wreath, cockade and eagle, and the black visor is almost flawless. The silver chin cord is great shape and the interior still holds a nice sweat shield
I have taken many pictures of this cap that shows its condition but if specific pictures or questions are needed, please feel free to send me an e-mail.

I have this rare bird in my collection for a while now and finally managed to take some pictures. It’s a Prussian M15 lacquered felt Tschako in rather good condition.
Something is strange on the other hand, it has a Reichskokarde and a Prussian kokarde as well. I’ve looked several times to find traces of a Feldzeichen, but it seems there was never one applied an also it seems the Prussian kokarde was there forever. Is it possible that a Tschako was worn that way? The previous owner had found it with a red fabric ball on a metal wire in the slit of the Feldzeichen, but that also didn’t create any marks. I think it was something from a fanfare or circus…
Maybe someone can post a period picture or so and hopefully this little mistery can be solved…

Hello gents, I’ve been offered with a quite good Lufwaffe "boot" knife; it seems OK to me, but I prefer to submit it here first, to know your opinions on it. (I know, pics aren’t the best :().
The blade still shows faint cross grain, and the cutting edges aren’t honed. Some traces of fingerprints, but visible mainly with indirect light.
TIA
