Hello everyone, just showing off this Soviet banner I found, looking at the Soviet crest it would seem to be from around 1940-1946 and belonged to the Taganrog Metallurgical Technical School. As I am new to the banner collecting business, I would like to know more about Soviet banners and more specifically the organisation in terms of production of these banners made specially for official establishments. Thanks

Hello friends,
inside a revision of the Heeres-Kleiderkasse catalog dated october 1937 i noticed the lacking of clothing on sale unlike what i thought; it’s present only the several types of cloths for tailors and nothing talk about the selling of Feldbluse or trousers ready to use… What was the right procedure that an officer had to do to buy a ‘ready to use’ tunic, trousers or mantel?

Hi, Im sorry if this is in the wrong section, please advise if so. Thank you. I recently bought this SA dagger, and as you can see the small circular ‘SA’ logo part is missing. Is it possible to buy this from anywhere as it rather ruins the look slightly? If so can anyone give me a pointer? If not, is it possible (as a last resort) to buy a replica of this piece? Thanks for any advice. Kind Regards. Francis.

Hi All. I recently dug up a couple of these shell casings. This one pictured is the better example of the 2. What strikes me as odd is that it (the casing) appears to have somehow created a vacuum within itself. The firing cap appears to be intact, but if you look at the shell it has been totally ’sucked in’ !!. Rather like a plastic wrap when a vacuum is applied around fruit, vegetables etc in supermarket packaging. The brass has only light cracking in it and as you can see it is completely drawn in around the tube up the middle as well. Im pretty impressed with it myself, but even more…..I would love to know how this has occurred. It doesn’t appear to have been in a fire. Incidentally, can someone inform me of the correct name/term for the tube running up the inside centre of the shell? I look forward to any insight regarding this. Kind regards, Francis

Hi all,

This is my first post so please be gentle;)

I bought these two badges and I wonder are they real or fakes. Based on my research at this site, I have suspicion that they might be fake. As I am relatively new on collecting, I would appreciate experts help on this!

Hi Forum,

I have recently acquired a WW1 era British pith helmet, not something I would normally collect but it was a gift. sAdly it is not in the best condition and the brim is missing a piece of cork. Is it worth trying to repair, has anyone tried before or should I leave it as is?

Can post pictures later if required.
