Looking for help from my good forum friends on this tank helmet from my collection ,I have no clue to its period of issue and if pre or post ww2 and whether it is Soviet or maybe one of the warsaw pact satellite states ,i also wonder why a tan colour canvas as you would expect a summer helmet but this one has a winter liner ? also there is no folding rear apron as you would expect on a soviet helmet just a rather complex set of adjustment straps
There are some owners markings Ski seems predominant and a strap shows a slightly illegible so i am guessing here on a name but looks to be SKIBLLISKI
Inside the thick fold able ear flaps is a faded black circle with what seems a red triangle the other side shows similar but with the shortened name SKI
would be great to know exactly what i have here guys so any information would be superb cool militaria

Hello!

So yes, my Grandma and I found what I believe to be an old warhead from WW2 in a desert along our travels alome the western half of the US a few years back.
I forget what desert we found it in, but it has a partial inscription (which I googled)
It says "208 2" 25 rocket body MK.3"

I’m completely uninformed on this item and until just today, assumed it was just dense rock. My Grandma would have known more about it but she’s no longer around to ask.

Was it intended to be explosive?
It obviously has marks from a very hard and hot landing, could it have been a dud?
Should I have any concern about it being radioactive to any degree? It has been resting on my headboard for months.
Could it be worth any money? Most likely, I will let it sit in my mothers yard.
I will upload pictures of it upon request

Hello,

I added to the warrelics short article about 7PSK badge.

7th Horse Riflemen Regimental Officer’s badge from the Zygmaniak factory

The badge of the 7th Horse Riflemen Regiment in the officer’s version comes in two designs - Gontarczyk and Zygmaniak. Both images are different in detail, but in our opinion Zygmaniak has made a nicer 7 PSK badge.

It is one of its prettiest performances, solid and not worse than the badges produced by the Warsaw factories. Characteristic pleating on the reverse gives a distinctive look, a hand crafted work.

Auction with the badge 7 PSK - 7th Horse Riflemen Regiment Poznan - Biedrusko

The enamel is equally beautiful and looks perfectly on the silver cross. With this variant badge went to war officer corps 7th Horse Riflemen Regiment, especially junior officers who came to the regiment in the second half of the thirties.

Picked up this brief but interesting Wehrpass of a panzerman from the 21st Regiment of the 20th Panzer division, part of the 4th Army under Generalfeldmarschall Günther von Kluge and later joined by Generalfeldmarschall Fedor von Bock. This unit participated in operation Barbarosa from the beginning, pushing eastward into Russia and participating in the battle for Minsk, Smolensk, and moving further east to Moscow. At the time the battle for Moscow began, the 21st was unable to join the assault due to equipment disrepair. However, they soon joined the rest of army group Center in it’s advance on the Russian capital, fighting to secure the difficult ground around Koje and Matschichino east of the Nara. Unfortunately for the German army, this would be the end of their advance. On December 5, 1941 the 20th Panzer division began a northward retreat, with orders to take a reserve position. However, with well less than a year of combat service Mr. Frisch would remain behind near a place called Namenskoje, as on or around December 1st 1941 he gave his life in service to the fatherland, just four months short of his 20th birthday.

He was awarded the Panzer Assault Badge in silver, and the eastern front medal posthumously.

Frisch was trained to use the 98k, lMG13, MG34, Pistol 08, MP28, Handgrenade 24, MG37, the Mauser Pistol and the Kampfwagen Kanone 38 "KwK 38 (t)". I believe the 38 (t) was similar to a panzer II. But, I’m a bit confused as the KwK38 was a panzer II canon designation, while the 38 (t) was a Czech tank. I’m not sure if this training implies he would have been in an panzer II during this assault,, the 38(t), or if this is simply regarding training and he may have been in a more modern tank. My guess is he was in the 38(t), as I found record that they were supplied to the 20th Panzer Division. I’m not sure if the pass would indicate what his specialty was (gunner, driver, etc.), though I assume he was the gunner based on the training records. Would love some clarification on these points if anyone gleans applicable info from the pass.
