Hi guys

I am looking for sets of the OM8 / Ferdinand Hoffstatter.

Not to buy necessarily but to see the Ostmedaille that came with the pouch, regardless if it has another maker mark than an 8 or none at all.
Just the Medaille that came with the pouch.

It is the only Ostmedaille (as far as I know) that has not yet been identified.
I would love to be able to and finish that section of my Online Database with your help.
I have a theory (or a hunch) witch OM it is but would need to see more sets to confirm it.
As the OM8 is very very scarce every shown Medaille counts.

I hope someone can help me with this.
Just post here or
theostmedaille@gmail.com

All the best from Iceland

Hello, I would like to get opinions on this German fire police dress bayonet. I’m not very knowledgeable with these edged weapons, but to my untrained eye it appears to be okay. I’d like to get opinions on if this bayonet is an original piece and not a reproduction, thanks cool militaria

Here’s the listing on GunBroker: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/731367312

Picked this up from ebay just before Christmas, only now have I had time to have a closer look. W to front and rear, both different style fonts, these have been masked off and the helmet repainted black again, above the front W is A21, but this is under the repaint. The helmet is covered in signatures/positions, some readable, some to faint to read, there is a Head Warden and a Deputy Head, and signatures followed by the following references, D Group, Post I 26 & I 24, B3.
Would letters to the front and rear put this helmet in the London area ? and what would the significance of A21 above the W have been ? (the painted texture of the W & A21 are the same).

Hi to everybody, I wanted to know what you think of it of this bag. It seems for German mountain troops. It seems me that there are no marks. The color in some points is very faded. Thanks to whom will want to help me
