Good day everyone,
I do not usually post on this area of the forum, but have had this striking piece of insignia for several decades and have never been able to identify it. I was given the badge in the very early 1980s, when at college.
As you see, the three-piece insignia bears a beautifully enamelled central disc and measures approximately 92mm in diameter.
I hope (and am sure) someone here will be able to solve this little mystery…
My thanks in advance and very best wishes to all,
Bob

Hello,

Here’s something I picked up recently from a family who was stationed in Germany right after WW2 ended. The father was involved with getting the government set up again in Germany after hostilities ended.

This is a scale model of the Austro-Hungarian 30.5 centimeter Morser/Morter, made by the Skoda Works Factory in what is now the Czech Republic. Apparently the German’s also used this type of mortar as well.

I placed a quarter in some of the photos to give an idea of the size. The marble base and mortar are heavy. The mortar & marble base weighs in at about 17 pounds. I cleaned some of the dust off it, and see it is still very dusty, and needs a good cleaning to remove the dust.

When I lived in Prague for about a year, I saw one of these mounted on a granite "mountain" for sale early one Friday morning at the famous Buštěhrad Collector Market. Now I finally have one!

Best Regards,

Alan

Thanks in advance, I am not very well educated on camo helmets.

Not my usual area of collecting as i mainly collect GW1 militaria

I have had this MK6 a while, its a very rare NEI Electornics example made in 1983-84, the cover is heavily scrimmed up and is also an early one made by Manclark & son, with ct4b contract code

the helmet still has its early type MK6 chinstrap - as the material is very thin, compared to the later types. i would imagine the early straps didnt last long due to the thikcness of the material

anyway hope you like the pictures - i wil also be parting this from my collection to concentrate on my main area of collection,so if anyone can give me an idea of value aswell that would be appreciated
