Good day everyone,

A friend of mine has a helmet from his great grandfather. I know nothing of the varient or if it is Canadian or British. I think it might be WW1. He wants to know if anyone has any information on it. Below are some pictures. The last picture is the best he could get of any date or writing on the helm.

Cheers,

Rockett

Picked this up yesterday. From my research (please correct me if I’m wrong), it’s dated 1-1939. Kokubunji, original series made at the Nagoya Arsenal. I paid $500, non matching mag. Saw a couple others at the show ranging in the $700’s same condition.

I was really wanting to get my hands on an earlier one with the small trigger guard. Now I want more.

About the same length as a fairbain but handle is fatter and blade wider.

Description: Soldbuch issued in June 1941 to an eventual Oberleutnant z.See (the Kriegsmarine started issuing Soldbücher in June 1941).
He served on a heavy unit at one point as he was awarded the Flottenkriegsabzeichen in April 1942, however he must of served on it prior to June 1941 as the big ship is not known (this is quite a common occurance). He also served on 3 Destroyers, Z-4 ‘Richard Beitzen’, Z-15 ‘Erich Steinbrink’ and Z-33 and was awarded the Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen. He was also awarded the KvK II Kl mit Schwertern and the EK II.
During his time on Z-15 he would of taken part in Operation Sizilien which was the only time that Tirpitz ever fired her guns in anger. Op Sizilien consisted of Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and 9 Destroyers (including Z-15) and their mission was to raid the Allied base at Spitzbergen which they did.
He survived the war as there is an entry for an allied prisoner unit dated 23rd May 1945.
The downside is that unfortunately his photo has been removed and the swastika on the cover was removed and then at a later time inked back in again. Other than that the Soldbuch is in a good condition with all pages present and plenty of entries.

Asking price includes all fees/tracked & insured shipping. Payment via Paypal or Bank Transfer.

Just bought a large military knife collection, really for the US stuff. There are a little over a dozen fairbairn. Some have markings and I can pretty much figure out what they are. Could you guys take a look at the others? I’d like to know if they are "real" or current copies. Also an idea of what era they were used. Thanks in advance. First picture are the ones I identified with a lot of help from reading this forum. Next 2 pics, knives are unmarked.
