Is there a way to thank all that helped me Ido not want them to think I don’t appreciate the help

Hi All, The SA Dagger for your review and comments came my way some weeks ago. Lord knows where it has resided in the years of its life but it has suffered from an accute lack of TLC. As will be seen from the debris found within the grip and on the tang, sseperating them was no mean fete and I would suggest that the dagger has not been taken appart for very many years so I am happy that it all belongs together. I have a theory on the blade which I will not go into until I have some responses as I do not want prejudge the blade.

Can anyone suggest any appropriate solution to the finger acid damage on the blade?

Here is a recent addition to my growing family of Luftwaffe flight badges, a 1957er Beobachterabzeichen [Observer Badge].

Instituted on 26 March 1936, the Beobachterabzeichen was awarded to qualified Luftwaffe observers and bombardiers on active flight status.

To qualify for the badge, an airman had to have held the respective certificate for at least two months or have completed a minimum of five combat missions after attaining his certificate (the number was waived for personnel who where wounded in action prior to completing their fifth mission).

Here’s the badge now; it’s a later piece in worn condition.

As always, all comments are welcome.

These particular helmets were thought to have been used during the time of the first Gulf War…The helmet body and liner have been painted in a two tone desert swirl camo pattern which appears to have been factory applied the shell as can be seen from the images is sporting tan cotton webbing which I noted was devoid of the small ends with the female snaps for attaching to the liner as we are accustomed to seeing on other production M 1-C helmets …






With that said the liner is as well devoid of it’s male counterpart for attaching the helmets chinstrap to the side of liner as can be seen in the images the liners webbing including the A yokes is also constructed with cotton tan webbing and is in the US P-64 style..
It has been suggested that the liner’s in these may have been manufactured in Taiwan and or South Korea for export I wish I had more information to share about these particular helmets but this is only the third example I have come across in multiple on line searches…


It does closely match my ground troops version which is sporting the same camo pattern on the helmet body and liner if any one has any information that they could share I would be great-full as I have hit a brick wall with my research as it were..
