Got another bet going on in reference to the "DAK" or Tropical felt pith helmet known as the second pattern. Does anyone have a period pic of one being worn ? If so, any idea where or what theatre of operation it is worn in. The "Bet" is that they were never issued.

Don’t think Bill will mind. We are not saying they are fake, but doubts about if ever issued. Everyone seen is in unissued condition…. ??

I have found a solution to the only "headache (neck-ache)" I have encountered since joining this forum. Shotty cell phone pics, poor quality, upside down, sideways. Become a real thorn in my side that I will not even look at a posted item if the pics are sideways or upside down.

So my solution to upside down pics, shoot the pic "UPSIDE DOWN", this way when you upload onto the forum, it should be correct side up. If the top of your pic comes out side ways, shoot the pic sideways. That may correct the upload. Of course one can always spend the time to understand their phone/camera & figure out why they are having this problem…but why bother. Guess easier to just leave for the admin to straighten it out for you:mad:

Hy Guys!

I was asked by my friend who used to metal detecting in Hungary, to ask about this unkown medal.
He found this medal in a forest, next to a Sanatorium, where at the late WW2 timeframe, German, Russian and Hungarian soldiers camped.

He asked me to ask you guys here, what kind of medal is this exactly and everything useful information about it.

We hope this medal is an interesting one
