I’ve been eyeballing some French kepis for a while, but I personally have some trouble telling apart WWI and WWII kepis. Anyone have any tips as to telling them apart? As far as I can tell, for the most part, they’re the same. Thank for you any advice given!

While I’m mainly an art historian Military history has always held a special place with me. I tend to prefer to collect older firearms and geat (Roughly from 16th-20th century) As well as inter war period relics. As for countries I mainly like to focus on smaller countries (Serbia, and the other Yugoslavian countries, Africa and the middle-east, india) As well as Warsaw Pact countries (From about that era) and East Asian stuff. For the most part I prefer things like propaganda posters as well as other forms of war art. But i love equipment, kit, and gear as well as other Miscellaneous goodies! I al kinda happy and excited and I wish to know more and broaden my skills at identifying to add to my collection!

Hi guys can I get your opinions on this. To me it looks ok. My concern is after seeing Kirby’s post with the very good fake that this might be one. To do with the stars on front. As always appreciate your time.

This is the other cuff title I picked up over the weekend. This one looks good to me as well as the other two collectors that looked at it. Looking for confirmation as a good original as this is outside of my normal collecting area. All opinions are appreciated.

I took a bit of a leap outside of my usual collecting area and bought two cuff titles. This one looks good to me and I had two other collectors look at it in hand prior to purchase. The overall length is a tad over 49 cm. Your opinions on being a good original cuff title is greatly appreciated. I have compared to some others for sale and it also looked correct, but I am a bit nervous as this was outside of my normal collecting. Any opinions are appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to look and comment.
