Hi all

Its not really a battlefield but I thought you might like to see this Volunteer Cadet Corps Victoria cap badge that I dug up yesterday in the central Goldfields of Victoria. Is from the 1890’s before Australia was a commonwealth and each state had its own military.

Hi all.

I’m looking for serious opinions about this Luftwaffe camo helmet. Everything I see looks really good, but I’ve personally only handled a few of these. The eagle decal is still very faint but visible. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!

All,

I am interested in getting a Member of the British Empire medal. Unfortunately, I am having a difficult time finding resources in determining originality. I have been looking at one on Ebay, and it lookes fine to me, but I am not well versed in the subject. Just wondering what the consensus here is on this:

Vintage WW2 British Order of The British Empire Military Type 2 Military Medal | eBay

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m estatic I found this forum, the information and education here is unparalleled. I think I’ve been reading old threads for 3 days now, lol. I have my doubts on this ring,and ask very much a novice, with a desire to learn as much as possible. I purchased this a little while back looking for a period piece that I could wear everyday. Anyway, just judging by prior knowledge gained here, I think it’s NOT authentic. The inside reads, "U-593 18 August 1943 KM," also, "800." I’m pretty sure the date is when uboat 593 went down? KM, standing for, "Kriegsmarine," and, "800," meaning silver. Originally, I thought it one of a kind until I googled and seen this ring previously being sold quite often online. As well as chatted with another owner of the same piece. Is it possible the ring is a kind of memorial of the fallen or just a straight junk piece? Thanks.

A simple question but yet nobody has been able to clearly tell me what this is. I believe this is a repro with original parts sewn into it? this cap is not mine but lately i got an (imho) original feuerloschpolizei schirmmutze with exactly the same lining and with the same amount of age too. I will ad some pictures of my fire cap for comparison. the last 7 pictures are from the fire police cap.

help me out please
thanks!
