Last week I had to reorganize my gun safe to make some room for some new additions to the collection. I took the time to snap a family portrait. During this time I organized them based on their age. From top to bottom:
1917- RIA M1903, Mauser Model 1914
1939- Turkish Model 1938 Mauser
1940- Japanese Type 99
1941- Australian SMLE 1
1943- Inland M1 Carbine, M1 Garand, and Japanese Type 2 Paratrooper rifle.
I must say that I am proud of my humble collection!
This nice nickel HJ arrived today. A buckle I had on my HJ ‘hit list’ for sometime. Has the interesting MA 45 stamping from Friedrich Linden, Ludenscheid (FLL) and overall really nice condition cool militaria
This bronze TK was another piece of that collection I bought. I didn’t want to bend the prongs out to look more closely at the inside, but I think the pictures should tell the tale…
Good afternoon my friends, I have a question about an armband that is for sale and I would like to know your opinion, will it be original? I leave some photos, thank you.
I was wondering if there were any websites that could help translate BDM/HJ ausweises? I am aware of a website that assists in translating Soldbuchs but there doesn’t seem to be any sites that would help with this type of id. I don’t want to be a pest by always asking for a translation because I am aware of the amount of effort that one has to put in to translate a document! I would be thankful for any help for any resources that could help me in translating this type of document.
