Looked at one on Sunday but decided not to buy. At first glance it looked attractive, it had a few small drawings that were appealing. One was a little girl’s head with typical pudding bowl hairstyle, and another a soldier’s head and shoulders. I did wonder about these though. I think the key thing that put me off was that I could see in one of the ’signature’ strings mama and papa written in katakana, which just didn’t seem right for WW2.

Cheers,
Tony

The flying logbook to a AAC Sgt 2nd pilot on a Horsa from ‘E’ Sqdn GPR who was KIA on the Saturday the 23rd Sept outside the Hartenstein hotel…. It was his first operational sortie having qualified for 2nd pilot duties on 1st June 1944.

Here is an unissued Police holster. I believe these are Russian capture and came in from the Ukraine some years ago. This is the more common one without the ‘B’ in the chest of the eagle and no swastika either. Jonathan.
