Has anyone seen a blade-marked U.C. 1943 M3 trench knife like this? I’ve never seen one without the grooved handle before.

Had this for a while it is 30mm x 170mm what cannon would fire this one a Rarden! I do not think it is from a GAU. These are used to check the cycling of the weapon I gather for feeding & the ejection of the spent rounds the previous owner spay painted it a candy green colour which I have stripped off it looked horrid the nose fuse comes out but the rest the internal threads are stripped. notcool
Could some one please advise me as to the colour scheme the round would wear whilst in service so I can paint it up.

BM = ! who manufactured this one
I gather 96 is the DOM
087 Lot No.!
SPS = !

(On the Rt a 303 round for scale)

Appreciate assistance provided TIA

Hi
I would like to hear your opinions about this badge.
I have looked over my reference material. The badge looks good to me but there are always little things that make me unsure.
Thanks

Hi,
Is this cap is from ww2? Wich division?

Thxs

Hello ,
I have recently bought a Polish soldiers lot . Meynek Zygmunt , served with 14th Wielkopolska armoured brigade , 2nd Polish corps in Italy during ww2 .
Just listed his medals , dog tag and patches on a well known auction site if anyone is interested .
I shall be adding his very nice photo album to my archive . I’m happy to post a few images here, if anyone can help out with a little research .
Would ideally like to know a bit more about the man and the 14th Wielkopolska .
The album has tank content , fellow comrades , some senior officers etc … I also have his wartime handwritten ( in Polish ) note book , with plenty of technical details and diagrams relating to MkIII Sherman tanks .

Thanks for viewing! I am beginning to fall in LOVEE with visors and looking to scoop up visor parts whenever I can for future use. I am looking for original visor buttons and saw these on ebay a while ago! Trying to find out if they are real and if they are applicable across the board to luftwaffe,heer, etc.
I see how the tag on the bag says Nsdap so want to make sure they arent strictly political visor buttons.

I have a few visors and the buttons i’ve noticed seem to be all silver pebble style but slight variations with each one. Can anyone help me as if these period ones are standard issue/use for many TH visors? thanks a bunch and god bless!
And any reference books for visor parts/accessories?

Also does anyone know where I might find some if these are no long available for sale? Thanks -

Bryan

M43 Police field cap for your review, Looks ok to me but would love to hear other opinion, my only thought is the buttons look reapplied? Also, the texture of the cap looks a little off and coarse…
