Hi All,

Asking our more-learned forum colleagues here on their thoughts on this one - The camo has been very roughly applied here & there, and quite thick. The green does look quite bright, but I have seen similar schemes….Opinions anyone?

Regards,

Dan

I did not know where to put this question so the ‘Gold Club’ seemed the only place…..

Q: Does anyone know if Doug Buhler is on ANY forums these days? He bowed out here about a year back and now seems to have dissappeared from the Walhalla forum he helped set up in its 2nd incarnation.

I know there were many horn locking competitions over the years but he always had facts to know and wonderful things to behold - and that loss is a shame. If it is because of the Champagne Decal controversy I can believe it, so in an open forum I just wanted to say "thanks Doug, ( if you are about ) for years of service to the hobby and multiple facts and photos that have helped us grow in knowledge" ……. and hope all goes well for you in the future!! cool militaria

Greetings all,
Found recently at auction, a lot of US style hats. I believe they are for the most part, vintage 1960’s children’s dress-up hats. Interestingly they have a smell similar to other WWII era items I have. A couple do have old tailor stamps, whether this makes them just quality toys, cadet issue or the like I am not sure. The propeller insignia is in sterling, which is also interesting for a ‘toy’ hat. I also find the actual metal buttons and insignia incredible for toys, but I grew up in the ’80’s, when these items were made on the cheap! I guess what I am asking is does anyone recognize any of these caps as ‘non-toys’ or are they all vintage toys? Do any of our older esteemed members recall running around the yard in one of these? cool militaria
Cheers

I have been on the hunt for my first and most likely only DKiG (without case) for a while, waiting for just the right one.

So here it is. A nice worn, albeit ordinary C.F. Zimmerman (20) lite in very good condition and great patina. The pictures really hide the patina which is a shame.

Has the correct die flaw and weight 44/45 grams. The swastika enamel has no chips and the silver backing just minor scratching.

And there was a bit of a surprise that I only found out post the purchase. The seller had a copy of the original award document. I am trying to see if I can get the original to pair them back up. A shame they were separated.

If all true, this was awarded to Leutnant d.R. Weber 9. / Gr. Rgt. 467 on April 24, 1943

Hope you enjoy it!

Michael

Hey guys, I have the opportunity to make an offer on this helmet. Can anyone verify it and what it might be worth. Others you don’t do SS stuff but I’ve always wanted one but they all seem to be fakes. Thanks!
