I was searching ebay and found this back cover from an old magazine that I just
had to have. It is an add for "Grape nuts" cereal which I used to eat as a kid.
Description: Very nice battle M-35 DD/ET62 (apfelgrun paint) and canteen of soldier (Albert Becket) from positions of Kiew battle 1943
on canteen soldiers’ initials and other inscriptions
things belong to one soldier.
After reviewing previous postings, it appears the cap I purchased has the incorrect ‘Motto’ on it. Could someone please confirm this for me? Also, other pictures seem to show hats that are not nearly as rigid as mine. Is anything authentic on this one?
Salutes friends, wanted to share with you these two beautiful Italian bayonets been born during the first world war, for this realized in economy of war, they are enough rare and sought after bayonets.
These two has been produced in Italy and you realizes for the rifles Mannlicher Styer M95 captured to the hostile Austro-Ungarian.
The Italian realized these bayonets for the italian rifle Carcano M.91, but also for the captured Austrian rifles. These bayonets are very simple and you realize in way rough, with few phases of workmanship and with material economic.
The blade (as for the Italian dagger of "arditi") was utilised cutting by the long and old bayonets Vetterli that were not used anymore, and they shortened, to respect the new standards of war of the period.
I hope that you succeed in understanding well my bad English language.
Regards
