Today’s mini find on the local Flohmarkt ( boot fair) was this headset for 15 euros. I believe it to be some form of airman device. But I have no idea on the makers or what year they were made. all I can see is the Adler with swastika and a code WeA376.

Would love some information if possible.

hello all,
haven’t been around for a while because of a monster move I am doing at the momment!
Also had to improve security around the new house because of a buglary and a second attempt, a few days later.
Luckely nothing seems missing, for the momment…
Anyway, here is a box I found yesterday, during a house clearing.
And when doing some research about it I found thise;
Cowan’s Auctions: The Midwest’s Most Trusted Auction House / Antiques / Fine Art / Art Appraisals
Now here is my question; I am not going to keep it, so should I try to complete it (before selling) or sell it as it is!?
cheers

I spotted this Jäger visor cap by Erel for sale (and sold) on Kelly Hicks website in the US, it went for US $1100.00,
and thought I would save the photos and post them here, it is a fairly rare piping, and this cap was also marked on the
sweatband for the Verkaufs-Abteilung der Luftwaffe too. From the photos the sweatband looks to have been fairly crudely
re-sewn to the body of the cap, but still a very rare cap.

(and no, I wasn’t the one who bought it). There were only the 3 photos of the cap on his site.

Is this a Polish army cap? I think the badge is. I don’t know if it is authentic or not. Any thoughts?

i recently won this Kaiser wilhelm II stein in an auction in Victoria Australia,.i dont know exactly what i have here to be honest,.it shows expected age for a vintage piece,it stands about 14 inches,.alot of the words & phrases are very faded & hard to read,my german is ok but the gothic lettering gets me everytime.The craftsmanship is superb,i would’nt expext anything less from the germans.
I think it is a memorial stein to a specific "kavallerie",as it has some very faint names next to the handle.Some battle scenes & a profile of the kaiser on the front,.there is a scene inside the stein of a soldier in uniform & a woman,.(you can’t see it very well in the photos).Though i did some research & i found that the scene at the bottom on the inside of these steins when held up to light the image glows & thats how you can tell they are origional.Some phrases on this piece say,.Sieg oder tod "victory or death" / "5 Esktr konigs Ulanen Regt 1 Kann No.13 Hannover 1909-1912,& is covered in oakleaves.If anyone spots anything i have missed,.which i know i have,.please dont hesitate to let me know,it will be much appretiated.I think it was produced around 1919-1920.It is such a beautiful piece,the art is amazing in such detail & the eagle & the kaiser as the lid well that just puts it straight in the awesome category.i am trying to translate all of the writing on it but it will take a while so any help would be great,.anyway here are some photos.
