Camo 1941 G.S.W.

Thought I would share this recent addition to my collection it is said to have come out of a garage in New Glasgow Nova Scotia it is one of the more interesting Canadian Camo painted helmets I have come across it is as mentioned a 1941 dated G.S.W steel lot batch H it is sporting a 1942 dated VMC liner in a size of 7 1/2 and the remnants of the tan and green textured paint can be seen on the underside of the rim the helmet came with out a chinstrap but as I had a couple of loose ones kicking about I added one for the purpose of display…
On the norm I like to take pictures of my helmets outdoors in diffused light but as it is rather cold outside -20 and a fair bit of snow on the ground this is not an option right now so please pardon the images as they are the best I can muster…

Regards Mark

Need help! SS Dagger - original or false?

Hi guys,

need your opinions on this SS dagger - manufacturer is P.D. Lüneschloss Solingen - RZM 1053/38. It´s with Ralf Siegert certificate, who´s the expert on III.Reich cold weapons, but as you know, certificate isn´t often the only mark of thrue original. So, thanks for your opinions and help.

Heer Dagger - E. Pack (Siegfried Waffen)

Hello folks. I’ve compared this E. Pack 3rd type to the examples in Heeresdolche, and it looks overall correct to me. Looks like an example of the aluminum crossguard. While I’ve seen fittings with unmatched patina, I have to say my eye is quite drawn to the ferrule on this compared to the pommel. Perhaps had a portepee most of its life that’s now missing? Scabbard is the 2 side screw type that it should be. Do you guys see any problems I’m missing?

I’d really like one of these Seigfried Waffen daggers. I love the logo they used on these, and I figure I should be able to find a nice minty example of this given the commonality of them. But, I sure would like to know everything is as it should be for a 100% unmessed with original before plopping down the cash.

Thanks all for your time and expertise!

Question Luftwaffe NCO jacket

I am considering purchasing a Luftwaffe NCO tunic I have found. It is clearly marked on the interior. I was wondering if all of the insignia looks original to the jacket. Thanks!

SKF Werkschutz Schweinfurt Patch

Had this on the side for a while, have done some basic research but cant find to much to compare it to.

Seems to be Werkshutz patch. I am not sure of age but from the design I am thinking inter war, very expressionist and in general seems like a wacky design or at least one that would grab attention. the lettering and edge stitching is very light..
Overall 3.5in High and 2.in wide.
The stitching for the "furt" section seems to have an open "o" for "fort" seems like whoever was the maker just didn’t bother to keep the gap when stitching
As Always
Thanks in Advance Gents
