Mods please re-locate this question as necessary but I’d like to ask members opinions and suggestions on getting dents out of Wehrmacht kanisters? Have you tried and been successful, methods etc?

I have a couple with dents that I would like to try and straighten out.

Good afternoon, just after a periode for about 10-15 years started collecting ww2 stuff again. Now kids are getting older more time for this great hobby again. See you on the forums! Btw 45 years and living in the Netherlands.

Can these be dated to specific periods of production? Many thanks. These are similar to those in the reference thread. Any ideas what the numbers mean on the white leather?

Hi everyone,

A few years ago I purchased this Luftwaffe visor. It originally belonged to Gefreiter ”Bucher” as shown by the name tag under the sweatband.

I also have two letters (acquired with the cap) that apparently were sent to him. The problem is, my German is not good enough to make out what it says, never mind the confusing handwriting.

I was wondering if any of the German speaking members here is kind enough to tell me what they are about? Were these two letters even sent to the same person? I’m really confused…

This is the first letter, dated 15.12.1938

The second one is in bad condition with faded ink. Dated 05.07.38

Needless to say, any input, comment or opinion will be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,
Miguel.
