A friend has acquired this British lantern which we could use some help identifying. The chimney is stamped "4MB" in large letters and on the base is stamped "1945, KE, 8025". The paint is dull green. I thought it could be military but there is no broad arrow or crown cypher. Thoughts?

Named Artillery Waffenrock. This uniform is named to Adolf Quintell of the 69th artillery regiment. The EKII ribbon, ribbon bar, DSRL badge, Wound badge, and lanyard came with the uniform and are ostensibly his. The Army Flak badge is a repro.

The thieves who robbed the Berlin grave of Reinhard Heydrich last week seemed to have acquired exactly what they wanted - the honorary cord Heinrich Himmler, the Reich SS leader and the Gestapo chief. He, as Heydrich’s direct superior, laid it under the Order’s SS laws at the funeral on the lid of the coffin. After the theft, the German media said last week that the perpetrator (s) had to know about the location of Heydrich’s apparently from the occupied sites, since the grave was flattened and anonymized after the war.

The hypothesis that the thieves were Heydrich’s remains is ruled out by the researcher. "According to the German police, the coffin was not opened anyway," the researcher notes, referring to the very strict Order Laws of the SS.

It is precisely in the Nazi prescriptions that the duties of the SS men in engagement, marriage, and funeral are recorded. Chvanchara reminds that in the event that a member of the SS is buried, his closest superior takes the honorary sword of the deceased from the coffin lid and places his own on it. This kordík is then buried with the coffin.
For some collectors, Himmler’s item can be of enormous value, and they are willing to take on considerable risks. It is a valuable war relic for them, as well as the SS rings or medals, orders or weapons of the Eastern and Western Front soldiers from the First and Second World War.

Hello all, another piece I picked up in a large grouping and from what I have researched it looks legit but this one does not have a makers code like the other RZM marked one I saw. Nice enamel and silver wash with some patina. Opinions welcomed! Thanks!
