By pure chance I found this poster years ago and it featured my great-grandfather’s name and allowed me to discover more information about his involvement in the great war. I post it now with the hopes it might do the same for someone else.

The only other thing I have to share is the story my grandfather told me (so who knows how factual it is). The story goes that there was a truce called at sundown, at which point members of the company would sneak across enemy lines to drink with Germans, then on the return trip cut the thoughts of German sentries in spite of the truce. Again I don’t know how true it really is.

If you want to share anything else about this division please do!

Hi all, I’m new to the forum so I’ll take a moment to introduce myself. I’m a collector of modern American militaria, occasionally dabbling in comm-bloc stuff and some older American stuff depending on my mood.

A family member inherited the following dagger several years ago with minor provenance, I had looked it over and told him it was authentic and to come to me if he ever considered doing anything with it. He’s considering selling it now and wants more details but I’m not an expert with these so I’m deferring to those who are.

Mainly I’m wondering:
~ Am I correct in that it is legit? (everyone can make mistakes and provenance is sometimes "embellished")
~ What other specifications are noteworthy?
~ Why is it missing a distribution mark?
~ What is the weird circle shape near the blade tip? Is it common?
~ What would your opinions be about the condition?
~ What’s the average price range for these, and how much impact does the condition play in today’s market?

I watermarked the images because EBay Scammers are a plague!

Hello,

I’ve got this tin a few days back, and I’m not sure if it’s third reich period or not. It shows a marker "Deutsche Arbeit, deutscher Fleiß", so it could be possible. Can anybody help me? Google had no answers for me.

Regards
