I believe that this is a war period German torch. It’s not my area, so are there any red flags that may be apparent. Thanks

Hello all, here is my Krieghoff, 1942 made flare pistol. I believe they were used by the Luftwaffe and from what I’ve been told are relatively hard to find. I bought it a while ago with another flare pistol for $200 each. The flare pistol is fully functioning and everything works smoothly. Serial numbers that are visible all match. It’s not the best looking one I’ve ever seen (condition wise) but I am happy with its used look.

Edit: here is a link to a much better looking example of the same make and year as mine. Flare Pistol, Luftwaffe | National Air and Space Museum

Hello, I recently bought this helmet super duper cheap.

Helmet shell is late ww2, swivel bale and has Korean war paint painted over the ww2 paint.

But the liner, what is it?
It is light blue and sadly is missing the chinstrap.

Any help would be appreciated
Has an N in a circle stamped in the crown

Description: A chance to buy and own a Rare Dog Tag ( Erkennungsmarke ) for the Estonian Security Group 186 !!
I am selling some of the rare dog tags I have from certain units , this tag belonged to a soldier who served with the locally raised Estonian security Groups .

The Estonian security groups were predecessors to the Estonian Ost Btl whose lineage eventually took many of them into the Estonian SS Division ! These units were initially deployed on security roles , guarding railways / pow camps /fighting partisans in the area of Army Group North around Leningrad .
The tag was found at the Klooga training camp area just outside Tallinn where units of the 20^th Estonian Division der Waffen SS were trained. Estonian Ost Batallions were sent to the 20th Waffen SS division and many soldiers were issued with new Erkennungsmarken. These EKM-s belonged to Soldiers who were mostly in Russia from the year 1941 and were lucky enough to see their homeland again in 1944. Most of them took part in later terrible fightings on Narwa front from Feb-Dep[tember 1944 and many did not survive. These tags are rare because there were only around 4000 men in all Estonian Sich. Groups.

New addition to my collection:

A pair of shoulder straps (pogony) to a sergeant in the Air Force.
One strap is in very nice condition, the other one suffered unfortunately from a moth attack.
Though still very happy with them, as these worn pairs are not easy to find.
