Fortunes Of War Militaria made an update to its site today by adding an unusually long One-Thousand Stitch Belt to the "Senninbari Belt" category. In addition, we added a pair of named Japanese signal flags to the "Miscellaneous Flags" category. More updates will follow over the next few days. Thank you for looking! Michael
I think this should be an easy one, but as I am not into W-SS, I said to a friend of mine who owns the following cap that I would post it up
for a discussion.
I said to my friend I would personally pass on it, as it looks like something done in the back yard, but my friend insists it is in with a chance, I would use
it to wear on a hunting trip, but …. I welcome the knowledge base of the experts, all opinions appreciated
I really need help on this please.
It’s a bit of a story and this is for myself and my Father.
This shield is the only thing that we have left from my Granddad.
He left and went back to S.A while my dad was at sea and was never seen again.
I don’t even know what he looked like or who he was.
For years all I knew was he was a Bombardier in North Africa during WWII.
And other war stories passed on from my grandmother and father.
There was even a story that he taught the Queen how to drive, which I thought was just a bit of a joke, even though it was told with a straight face.
So in all those years, before google etc… I never knew what the shield was or what he did.
It’s not until this week that I was sorting out my war room and I was hanging up the shield, that it dawned on me to google it.
What came up is - The Coldstream Guards.
I can see they saw action in North Africa and I’m starting to think he did teach the queen to drive!! ha ha.
This is where I need help guys.
I wanted to see his service record but it’s not a free service.
If anyone has access to these records, can you please help me out?
Granddads name is - Peterus Jacobus Mostert. P J Mostert.
Coldstream Guards. WWII period.

Hi,
I received this in the mail today.
I believe it to be a Saxon Pickelhaube.
That is all I know.
This was the closest thing that I could find on the internet but my front plate (wappen) is different.
So any help/info you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
