Luftwaffe Schirmmutze help…..General Officer

Good evening,

I am thinking of making an offer on this Schirmmutze, but I have never purchased one. I have attempted to research these on the forum and have come up with a few questions. Pardon the pictures from the seller…I think they are using an older camera.

Here are my main concerns:

The RZM tag seems out of place. I have not seen another RZM tag in my research. Does this seem to fit with other General Officer visors?
The center of the cockade appears to be gold bullion and I have not been able to locate a photo of a similar cockade.
Does the metal cap badge fit with the gold bullion on the rest of the visor?
Is the material correct? It appears to be felt.

Thank you for any info you are able to provide…Have a great night.

New to Me Union Switch & Signal 1911A1

I picked up last week. In pretty good condition with original parts. Not too common with only 55,000 made in two orders. The first was 30,000 after the original order of 200,000 was cancelled. The US ordered a second order for 25,000.

Flask - well marked

Got this recently, quite well marked. The owner’s name is nicely marked on the flask and carrier. I can see the kanji for Mori, but can’t decipher the rest.
Cheers,
Tony

Japanese Helmet - What type?

I obtained this over the weekend - seemed attractive and it was not expensive for a Japanese helmet. However I do not know Japanese helmets and this is the first one I’ve bought, so what exactly is it??? Is that an anchor?
Cheers,
Tony

Question German lightweight tunic Heer, Ostfront

Dear all,

May I show you this private purchased/depot made lightweight tunic of an "Oberfeld" please? All the time it was a strong wish of me to get a Wehrmacht tunic. Now I have done, it’s on hold so the anticipation ist much greater for me. I am enjoying it very much :) :)

I have chosen consciously Espenlaub Militaria as my provider so I think it’s authenticity is not in question, istn’t it?

According to my sources those kind of tunic was used originally at the Eastern Front, but could be seen on all frontlines in summer 1943/44. I would be very pleased if you had some more information about this tunic, e.g. hints about the time period of its production, occasions about its use?

All comments are wellcome.

With best wishes

IJA Helmet star emblem - resource?

Is anyone aware of or can direct me to a resource that spells out the specifications for the star emblem that is on a type 90 combat helmet? Ive been told the star on my helmet shell is a reproduction so I would like to know what an original one specs at so I can compare and be on look out for original one. thanks for any information on this. I can measure the thickness and overall dimensions of the star if that helps some tell me how it compares.
