Hi guys,
Would be interested in what your thoughts are on this "August Müller" visor cap. It all looks good to me but I know these Aug Müller Schirmmütze are prone to faking.
Cheers.
Kev.

Hello to all,
I want to share with you this tank crewman’s Italian helmet, it is the Italian copy of US ACH M38, it has been widely used by Italian crews of tanks M47, M48 and Leopard 1, from 60s and until to 90s.
This example is one of last productions for the Leopard 1 crews, 1994 dated.
I also add a plaque souvenir, relic of the Cold War years.

thanks for looking
Roberto

I am trying to find information about my father Pawel Zawadzki who served with 10 Baon Saperow in ww2,I have his service records from the MOD but it does not say where he served.He said that he was at Monte Cassino but would not talk about his experiences so I have little information about him during that time.I wondered if he was awarded the Monte Cassino Cross any help would be welcome.
Thanks

Here’s a few new adds plus some groups. The subs are, for the most part replicas I’ll use in displays.

Hello Everyone,

Got this, banner? flag? last night, the price was right and I am a sucker for flags. Haha! It is single-sided. The red material is almost exact to NSDAP flag material. There are no reinforcement areas in the corners. No areas were it looks like there were hangers. It came from a military gun collection that was purchased by a friend and he didn’t know what it was so I said I would take it. It looked interesting. It could be a WW2 German tablecloth, you don’t see those everyday! I looked at naval signal flags, nothing similar. Any ideas?

Just to share another recent purchase ,i will try and follow up with more detailed pictures but for now this is the best i have It sits quietly next to my polish Wz 63 ,aside from the obvious differance in colour i see huge similarities between the liners and wonder if they were working to a specific design or just a coincidence ?also im curious to know the clues on how to date these and not in a romantic way before you say it

I got these Swedish M26 helmets, I think the green one is Finnish used, and I’m not sure about the other one.

The grey one has a stamp on a liner pad that says Lsa, and one of a crown in a circle, with “TV” under it, and it says 212 on the chinstrap.
I have no idea what both the Lsa and TV stamp mean, do any of you guys have an idea?
None of my other Swedish helmets have a marking like this, just an M21-18 with unit markings which look way different.
