Hi all, I have a chance to get this seemingly nice Heer officer tunic. I’d love to hear your opinions on its authenticity and the application of the insignia. The tunic is not marked; the only flaw would be the moth holes on the wearer’s lower right pocket. Any input is welcomed. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, here is a pith helmet that I would want you all to take a look. The seller obtained it from a German POW vet’s estate, who was captured in Tunis. Also from the vet himself is a POW art that he made while under captivity. Now on the pith helmet, I’ve seen captured and reissued foreign pith, but have not seen an English one. Do you guys think this hat is a possibility? Also have you seen ANY German used pith that only had one shield on them? Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am not a collector, but I recently inherited this small collection from my great uncle. I am curious what some of these things are and was hoping someone might be able to tell me more about them.

I am particularly curious about the shoulder board(?) with the skull pin on it. The pin has M1/52 on the back. Also, the two patches. I can’t seem to find much about them.

Any input is much appreciated!

These are the other items he gave me. I think I’ve mostly figured out what they are.

Another headgear for your consideration is this Panzer side cap in gray. Seems like the soutache does show some wear to the wearer’s left side, but I don’t know for sure. Also shouldn’t the eagle and the white part of the cockade show the same amount of fading? Again, I’ve never handled these types of headgears before. Any thought is appraciated!

Hello friends! I have this HJ on the way to me and today I talked about it with colleagues in Russia.
They have some serious doubts about it because the maker mark. As we can see, the two last digits is added later than the first "1". So it probably begun its life as RZM 1. But it sure must be from same die?
It is hard to understand because I use Google Translate on their forum.

So, are the numbers added by the company or someone else? I found this on HJ-research:
https://www.hj-research.com/forum/f8…markings-8769/

1. RZM 1 = M1/1 which is Kallenbach Meyer & Franke
2. RZM 3 = M1/3 which is Max Kremhelmer , so this leads me to believe that Kallenbach mis marked this buckle. This buckle should have been marked RZM KH 3 (RZM KH 3 = M4/3 Kallenbach Meyer & Franke)
3. RZM 119 = M1/119 Georg Bonitz, so this leads me to believe Kallenbach mis marked this buckle as well. The marking should have been RZM UE 119 (RZM UE 119 = M5/119 Kallenbach Meyer & Franke)
4. RZM M4/3 = Kallenbach Meyer & Franke

So what are your opinions? Fake digits or did the maker add the numbers?
Thank you for your time!
