Luftshutz gladiator

Finally after asking, begging, crying for a helmet wrapped & bowed for Christmas…the wife broke down & found one within her budget. (Well I helped, lied & told her it was $200 less than the asking price) so I had to foot the $200.
However, after seeing, handling & owning dozens of these, never saw one this nice. Real leather vs. the Ersatz leather & still has the factory inventory tag tied up to it. I love the thing even though civil def. helmets are not my area of helmet collecting. Was a great Christmas 2016 ! 2017…who knows
(Yes, it is a real one)

M35 Double Decal Relic

Hello folks.

Supposed to be saving for W&P next month, but you know how it goes! Bought this one for £35 off fleaBay.
An apple green Heer M35, recovered during agricultural works in Russia. What sets it apart from other relics I’ve seen for sale, and the reason I decided to pick it up, are the decal remnants still visible under the rust. On the left side of the shell, you can just about make out the bottom arm of the swastika from a Heer decal. On the right, and what sold me on it, the red, white and black of the national tricolour.
It’s heavily battle damaged by shrapnel, damage that I sincerely hope wasn’t incurred when the poor devil was wearing it! This includes an impact to the dome, which has cracked the helmet, a few small shrapnel or bullet holes on the left side, and one large impact just behind the tricolour. The latter has passed clean through and punched a hole through the skirt at the back. Remarkably, the rolled edge has held firm. If this had been an M42, I’m sure this lid would have been split into two pieces.
A wonderful historic piece!

I’ve purchased this one with the intention of treating it with oxalic acid. Said acid is currently on its way to me, and as soon as it arrives I’ll be giving it a bath. From what I can see, there is very little corrosion to the steel, only caked and bubbling rust that has spread over the surface. On the inner right hand side of the skirt, it’s already been cleaned away to apply a number. Looking at that area, I’d say I’m in for a pleasant surprise with this one!

Regards, B.B.

Panzervernichtungsabzeichen in Silber Type 1

This arrived in the mail today from a very nice gentleman. He also gave me two nice Speisemark tickets.

A nice Type 1 Tank destruction Award. Have been looking to add one to my collection for quite some time.

Overall in very good condition but was probably a vet bring back or similar as there is remains of what appears to be some glue on the backing. Also the backing cloth is loose in some places but not a concern for me. Nice to see the rear attachment plate and prongs.

Backing cloth appears to be originally black (they came in different varieties) or maybe dark blue. Tank is magnetic.

Type 1 awards have a number of die flaws. Most notably the:

- Rear fender is slightly over the rear cog.

- The top rollers are not perfectly spaced (you can see on the top, a gap in front of the last roller where there should be the teeth of one of the treads.

- Poor "smushed" teeth of the treads between the last roller and the rear cog

Double click the photos to enlarge and see the really fine details. Hopefully it will help others if/when they are researching for their own purchase.

Enjoy!

And although not "technically" part of the PAB series of awards, I think it fits nicely with my little grouping cool militaria

Police Bayonet - Short Version by Eickhorn

Picked this up today to go with my long Alcoso Police Bayonet. A been there Short Police Rig complete with the frog and police troddel. Overall in very nice condition. Blade is still amazing with maker marked Eickhorn nicely stamped. Troddel is a little worn and discolored but salty. The Police Shorter Variants are tougher to find than the standard length versions. Hope you like her.
